    Question about devices that connect to wifi

    Ok, so recently i connected with my personal cell phone to a wifi where i shouldn't have connected
    Is there any way for the service provider or anyone else to track down who connected to their wifi? will they be able to find my identity? I guess the cell phone has some Mac adress or something by which they could be able to identify ? Pls someone who knows explain

    Really depends on what kind of device the WiFi network was hosted on. If it was a typical router, then whoever owns the WiFi will be able to view your device's hostname and mac address from the router's logs from the web interface.

    ^^ this is true.

    Also, I would like to mention that depending on the ISP, they could also view who is currently connected and probably even have some logs of previous devices.
