Technitium MAC Address Changer allows you to change (spoof) Media Access Control
|
|
(MAC) Address of your Network Interface Card (NIC) irrespective to your NIC
|
|
manufacturer or its driver. It has a very simple user interface and provides ample
|
|
information regarding each NIC in the machine. Every NIC has a MAC address hard coded
|
|
in its circuit by the manufacturer. This hard coded MAC address is used by windows
|
|
drivers to access Ethernet Network (LAN). This tool can set a new MAC address to your
|
|
NIC, bypassing the original hard coded MAC address. Technitium MAC Address Changer is
|
|
a must tool in every security professionals tool box.
|
|
|
|
There are some famous, commercial tools available in the market for USD 39.99 to as
|
|
much as USD 2499!, but Technitium MAC Address Changer is available for FREE. We
|
|
don't charge for just changing a registry value! Also knowing how this works doesn't
|
|
require extensive research as some commercial tool providers claim! Read how it works
|
|
(below) for more details.
|
|

|
|
Issues in previous version ironed out.
|
|
How Does It Work ?
|
|
This software just writes a value into the windows registry. When the Network Adapter
|
|
Device is enabled, windows searches for the registry value 'NetworkAddress' in the key
|
|
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-
|
|
11CE-BFC1- 08002bE10318}\[ID of NIC e.g. 0001]. If a value is present, windows will
|
|
use it as MAC address, if not, windows will use the hard coded manufacturer provided
|
|
MAC address. Some Network Adapter drivers have this facility built-in. It can be found in
|
|
the Advance settings tab in the Network Adapter's Device properties in Windows Device
|
|
Manager.
|
|
How To Change MAC Address
|
|
1. Starting MAC address changer will list all available network adapters.
|
|
2. Select the adapter you want to change the MAC address. You will get the details of
|
|
your selection below.
|
|
3. In the Information tab, find the Change MAC Address frame. Enter new MAC address
|
|
in the field and click Change Now! button. You may even click Random MAC Address
|
|
button to fill up a randomly selected MAC address from the vendor list available.
|
|
4. To restore the original MAC address of the network adapter, select the adapter, click
|
|
Restore Original button in the Change MAC Address frame.
|
|
NOTE: This tool cannot change MAC address of Microsoft Network Bridge. Network Bridge
|
|
will automatically use the original MAC address of the first NIC added into bridge with the
|
|
first octet of MAC address set to 0x02.
