Can I Win7 MAC Spoof?

Hey guys, is there any way I can spoof my MAC on my windows 7?

I'm basically looking for a legit WORKING (tested) way to spoof my MAC address on win7. I think it will come in handy for certain things. (using Cain is an example)

I use BT5 and have my mac spoofed there.. now on my windows would be great.. if possible

thanks for any info.
Try SMAC. Many people have had success with it.

Hey thanks for the suggestion.. no luck though. Just tried it a bunch of times and it isn't working.
All seems good till you have to disable network then restart.. once that happens your MAC returns to what it was.

The Windows 7 LAN and wifi drivers do not allow spoofing of your MAC address but restrict it to select hexadecimal digits for the first 2 digits and NO software will overcome that. The only way to completely spoof your MAC address without MS enforced restrictions is to use Vista specific drivers, which work just fine in Windows 7. So install Vista drivers for any NIC adapter you wish to spoof its' MAC. Using the Vista driver for a Windows 7 wifi card has the added benefit that it will no longer be bound to the Windows 7 virtual wifi adapter. The virtual adapter actually has a tendency to cause disconnects and dropouts leading to performance issues for wifi connectivity so it being unbound will enhance your wifi connections.

Once you have a Vista driver in place you can spoof the address by typing devmgmt.msc in the search dialogue box of the Start menu. When the device manager opens, expand the Network adapters, and right click on the particular adapter and select Properties -> Advanced tab -> hilite Network Address -> select bullet beside Value -> enter the 12 digit hex value that will then be used as your reported MAC address -> OK

Take care
Hey, I'm new to all this and really don't want to risk messing anything up. Do you think you could possibly walk me (and anyone else learning) through the process of how to do this. I'm using a broadcom.

I don't even know where to get the NIC Driver for Vista.. also is this reversible?

when you said win7 virtual wifi adapter causes problems that caught my attention.. I always have connection issues over my secured Net-gear router. There is also an unsecured network in my neighborhood but its a belkin router. I can connect to that one 100% fine but my own network.. nope.. always say cant connect.. etc.. and if it does connect it likes to drop connection... Someone else in my house is using a Vista laptop and never has issues.. i never knew why. Now I'm thinking its for the reason you stated above.

Anyways, if you could please help me get this going with instructions.. it'd be greatly appreciated.

thanks.
It's pretty easy to do

However I recommend you just do it in linux like everyone else

funny.

I use BT5 on a virtual machine and have my mac spoofed there already.. was really simple.. Windows 7 (which is the OS I use) not so much.

I have BT5 because I'm learning about "network security" and etc.. still have a lot to learn as I'm freshly new.

Anyways, if I can get directions on how to get the win vista driver and install, etc.. that'd be cool cause maybe my connection on my own network would be steady from now on. Also like I said I'd like to know if its reversible.. how to change between drivers.. etc.

As far as walking you through it, I already laid out exactly what to do to change the reported MAC address on any NIC. Just follow those steps. The hard part, and it's not that difficult is getting and installing the Vista driver for your NICs

If you know or make known the make and model of your computer and also the make and model of your NICs then it is possible to find a Vista driver for those cards either yourself or I can also find them as well.

And, yes it is completely reversible, simply select the bullet Not present on that Advanced tab of properties and it will use the original firmware MAC address. And you can reinstall the Windows 7 driver any time you want if you decide to.

The virtual adapter is intended to allow your wifi card to be a hotspot to host other devices which can then use your internet connection. While interesting in theory it does in practice however cause your wifi card to scan for other wifi connections that may want to connect, your wifi card can then lock onto other signals causing your own wifi connection to drop, disconnect and basically be at the mercy of any other wifi enabled device in the vicinity of your machine. By not having the virtual adapter bound to your wifi adapter this can not occur.

thanks.

If you wish I can Teamviewer with you and show you exactly what to do, even find and install any drivers required, PM me if you want to explore that option.

Take care
