Topic: spoof mac address with Intel 5100 wireless

Hi

I try ro spoof mac address in my laptop ( Acer with vista + intel 5100 wireless).......but it doesn't work sad

I make some search and it say that's impossible to spoof this card address because driver block it, i try all software, smac, macmakeup and others software and registry manipulation but it doesn't work.

someone tellme that's work just if i instal xo driver on vista but I must reboot every spoofing because that's cause a bug.

so ma question, there was any solution for this, I must instal XP to make this ??

thanks ^^

PS : spoofing work with this card on linux ubuntu 9.10

perhaps you are attacking the problem from the wrong angle...

many NICs allow you to SET the mac address
sometimes this may actually require flashing the rom. wink

Spoofing is a hacker activity sir - are you being a bad boy ? ? ? wink tongue big_smile


PS mac OS 10 IS linux... so if you can do it from linux then you can also do it from OS X... big_smile

no no, I am not a hacker......it's just for testing big_smile


I know that's work on linux but I wanna make it on Vista first.

if it doesn't work, I will format and test if it work on XP

and what do you mean by flashing the rom, bios or just a card ??

Re: spoof mac address with Intel 5100 wireless

here is the main idea... A MAC address is supposed to be Hard Coded into the ROM on the device itself...

That is why MAC address were once good for security purposes...
Because they were intended to Not be able to be set from software.
At least that was the original intent, The Theory was no two devices would ever have the same MAC address.
and routers could use this ID for preventing access to networks...

If the MAC address was Hard Coded into the NICs ROM (Unlike an IP address that is alterable from software)
as proposed in the original THEORY the only way to change a MAC address was to get a new NIC... wink

In the old days Flashing the ROM on a NIC might set a new MAC address...
But in THEORY it still should not have changed wink
It was intended to be BURNED INTO the HARDWARE Permanently big_smile...
What a great security measure! You could as a network admin POSITIVELY ID a specific PC / NIC (like a drivers license)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

"Although intended to be a permanent and globally unique identification, it is possible to change the MAC address on most of today's hardware, an action often referred to as MAC spoofing"

Over the years this really excellent plan was shot full of holes...
First they allowed changing it during a BIOS / ROM flash. Later by Driver and eventually by Registry.
Now making it totaly useless to anyone at all...

So why do you wish to change this totaly useless number?

Re: spoof mac address with Intel 5100 wireless

I don't wanna change it permanently, I use always software like smac to spoof address and I recover real address when I don't need spoofing.

so my question, I can make it if I install XP

Re: spoof mac address with Intel 5100 wireless

yesss...but any software work for this card with vista.


registry method don't work too with vista.

some users say that they can change address of this card by installing XP driver on vista, but it cause bug ben disable and enable adapter.

Re: spoof mac address with Intel 5100 wireless

vmware / virtual box may be a way to get there wink
