I've been meaning to ask this, but can we change a Windows machine MAC address via say, a Live CD?

Supposedly you can, with ethtool. To my understanding, the program is capable of writing to the EEPROM memory chip of the network device in order to change the MAC address. If I remember correctly there's an Atmel AT93C series EEPROM on the Alfa cards PCB but haven't found any mention of ethtool working for wireless devices.

See here and here.

But bro will this work on windows 7?
and what mac address do i use? i heard it should be by the admin.

Nice tutorial! I will try this :)

Im to searching for a security camera hack.
Anybody knows a hack like that???? thnx.

There's also a program for this on the Mac called MacDaddy, and a command for it built-in to Mac, ifconfig.

So i have to bring the card out from monitor mode. Are the mac still changed when i go into monitor mode? Do i have to change back when i want the ordinary mac back?

This is next to exactly what I posted with less information.

When I use this code:

ifconfig - a | grep HWaddr

I get these two MACs:

- eth0
- wlan0

Is eth0 the router's MAC?

Would changing both of them be more effective or should I just change one?

Thanks for the tutorial OP.

eth0 is your ethernet connection, So your actual NIC's MAC

Thanks for that.

Would changing it in addition to the machine's MAC (wlan0) using the ifconfig command improve anonymity?

No not on a hard wired machine using a wireless connection but when you down the card and use the iwconfig command to put the card in monitor mode you also use ifconfig to put your( Usually mon0) down then up to the same mac going into monitor mode with macchanger changing the macs won't do this but the combination of
ifconfig and iwconfig and then ifconfig will do this to make mon0 s mac change as well macchanger does not change the mac of mon0 .Look into both these commands as well as the iw command this one is the NEW AND IMPROVED iwconfig command. and remember google is your friend 🎉🎉🎉🤝 So: I'm not going to go into too much depth about it since most of the information is out there.
