There's no really much harm in actually showing someone your MAC Address. All i make MAC Address is a 12 digital and letter code that identifies the network card.

Which protocol is used to determine a MAC address of a remote host interface?

ARP (address resolution protocol) is used in this case. Basically, one computer asks, for example, "who has IP address 10.0.0.15" (the message is sent as a broadcast), and the computer with this IP address replies, including its MAC address.ARP (address resolution protocol) is used in this case.

What is the process a computer goes through to find another machines MAC address?

A computer uses the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to find another machine's MAC address. When it needs to communicate with another device on the same local network, it sends out an ARP request, which is a broadcast message that asks, "Who has this IP address?" The device that owns that IP address responds with its MAC address. Once the requesting computer receives the MAC address, it can then send data directly to the intended device.
