Wireless security - Spoof a MAC address using SMAC

Download SMAC from www.klcconsulting.net/smac
SMAC 2.0 allows (Media Access Control) MAC address to be changed for a network adaptor or otherwise known as spoofing the MAC address.

This task demonstrates how to exploit a vulnerability that is present in wireless networks. An attacker could find out a valid MAC address allowed by an access point, spoof the attackers network adapter to use the allowed MAC address and connect to the network.

Install and run application

View the MAC address

Update to a new MAC address
The evaluation copy allows 0C-0C-0C-0C-0C-0C to be updated. The program also had to be run as administrator for Windows Vista version.

Start a command prompt

View the adapter information
Type ipconfig/all and enter. The updated MAC is displayed.
