![]() ![]() It’s an old computer (pre-2000) so booting a live cd of Ubuntu was out of the question. Unfortunately I didn’t have a few days because the hard drive on the computer that we used had crapped out. The university that I’m working at for the summer requires that you activate ports in the research labs by sending a request to the department’s ITS people containing the MAC address of the computer you’re trying to hook up and waiting a few days. Today I wanted to spoof a MAC address, though not for illegal purposes such as hacking into a wireless network. After all, one security precaution to wireless routers is to only let certain MAC addresses into the router. I had always thought that spoofing a MAC address was difficult.
