Does anybody know how to change my MAC address?

I need to know a feasible way to change the MAC address if theres any, and please tell me what is the purpose of doing it, any help will be appreciated need for homework : )Does anybody know how to change my MAC address?
Many wireless networking cards DO allow you to change the MAC address - thus allowing ';man-in-the-middle'; attacks. Just the same, many NICs cannot. To find out go to the Control Panel, and open 'System'. Click the ';Hardware'; tab and click on ';Device Manager';. Expand the Network Adapters node, and right-click on the appropriate device (there is probably only one). Go to Properties. In the Advanced tab, there may be an option listed for the MAC - if so, then your card supports this. If not, you are S.O.L



As the previous answerer pointed out, you can't change the *physical* MAC - if you are able to change it at all, it is only at the software level. But I'm sure it will suit your purposes (unless you are trying to hack something...)



Mac addresses must be 12 characters - 6 hexadecimal values. It must begin with ';00';, and the next 10 characters can be from 0-9, A-F. Ex. 00:49:FA:68:C3:9EDoes anybody know how to change my MAC address?
You can change it, i know that. Not exactly sure how. Why would you, huh........... To fool a router using MAC Address Filtering? You just really liked your old MAC Address? On a router you can clone the MAC Address of your modem to allow remote configuration?



Don't know if that helped....



/hello there
do you mean ip address? for ip addres start run command ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew



Mac addresses are hard coded into your nic card. would have to buy another nic card
you can not change the physical MAC address on a netwrok card. it's hardwired information assigned to the individual ethernet, wireless, and bluetooth ports.



you can however, use a ROUTERS ability to clone machine IDs and put another address in the routers software.
Simply by slipping a router in between you and the network , you can use the router's MAC address!



And, may routers will allow you to change their mac address on the network side (not the lan side).



MAC addressed have to be unique on any net... so if you own a device with a MAC address and have it on a different net... you can very safely reuse that number.
If you are running Linux, and you have root privileges, you can set the MAC address reported for the interface with ifconfig(8); for example:



ifconfig eth0 hw ether %26lt;new addr%26gt;



See the man page for further details. Note this does not change the address stored in the card's non-volatile memory, but the address that's used by the OS networking code.
