  • Spoof MAC address in Windows or gnu/linux

    start -> run -> regedit
    make a backup, if you want.
    goto:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}
    

    look through the list of subkeys (0000, 0001, etc)
    DriverDesc keyword will tell you which network adapter. For example, “NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller”
    when you find it, right click and add -> new -> string value

    new keyword:

    Value Name: = NetworkAddress
    Value Data: = your new MAC, with no space or : For example, 0019DB71C830
    

    then type:

    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /all   (to verify the new mac took)
    

    Now your a l33t Winblows H4|<3r! If you want to go back to your hardware MAC, remove the NetworkAddress key and restart the interface. FYI, in gnu/linux follow these simple steps to change your MAC address

    ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:19:DB:71:C8:30

    if you get this error

    SIOCSIFHWADDR: Device or resource busy - you may need to down the interface

    do this

    ifconfig eth0 down

    and try to change the MAC again.
