Re: [PEN-TEST] Change MAC Address

["Marin, Marvin" <marvin.marin () EDS COM>]

Since everyone else has given you the way to do it under unix/linux here's
the W2K answer.

The MAC address is usually burned into the card and can't be changed.  If
your lucky enough to have a card that can take a modification than to do so
under Windows 2000 do the following

1.  From the Start menu, select Settings, Network and Dial-Up Connections,
right-click the LAN instance that uses the network adapter card you want to
modify, and select Properties.
2.  In the "Connect using:" section, under the name of the network adapter
card, click Configure.
3.  Select the Advanced tab.
4.  Select Locally Administered Address.
5.  Type the new MAC address in the Value section.
6.  Click OK.
If "locally Administered Address" is not present, you can't do it with your
NIC or NIC driver.  G/L!
