Also, the owner of this router can have his network set up in such a way that additional credentials are required upon connection (i.e you must first connect to the router then SSH to another router to be able to do anything). SSH is encrypted so the owner would enjoy privacy benifits lol, this person may be smart, I wouldn’t connect.

Many people don't know what MAC spoofing is, but they use MAC filtering and think their network is secure, so they don't use any other security, thus leaving themselves wide open to the very hacking they're trying to prevent. If MAC filtering was not an option, they'd be forced to learn how to use something that actually works. (Forget WEP or WPA-TKIP; WPA-AES or WPA2-AES are secure at least for now.) MAC filtering is like an attractively styled life jacket that doesn't float. If it simply did not work (and it doesn't) it would be merely useless. Because it causes people to forgo something that really works, it is worse than useless. Does it call rampaging demons? Maybe not. But I know of people who take the view that MAC filtering used alone (without WPA at a minimum) is a sign of a network administrator with little real knowledge. These people find it quite tempting to "educate" the network administrator on just how insecure the network is. So, yes, an open, MAC-filtered network does perhaps attract more malicious attention than other types. You’ve partly answered your own question.
