Technitium MAC Address Changer allows you to change Media Access Control (MAC)

Address of your Network Interface Card (NIC) irrespective to your NIC manufacturer or
its driver. It has a very simple user interface and provides ample information regarding
each NIC in the machine. Every NIC has a MAC address hard coded in its circuit by the
manufacturer. This hard coded MAC address is used by windows drivers to access
Ethernet Network (LAN). This tool can set a new MAC address to your NIC, bypassing the
original hard coded MAC address. Technitium MAC Address Changer is a must tool in
every security professionals tool box. Technitium MAC Address Changer is coded in
Visual Basic 6.0.

There are some famous, commercial tools available in the market for USD 19.99 to as
much as USD 2499!, but Technitium MAC Address Changer is available for FREE. We
don't charge for just changing a registry value! Also knowing how this works doesn't
require extensive research as some commercial tool providers claim! Read how it works
(below) for more details.

Misconceptions
Many people believe MAC address, which is hard coded in the NIC card cannot be
changed. Yes, its hard coded but, it can be changed only by removing the flash chip from
the NIC card, re-programming it with new MAC address and putting it back on the card.
But this software does not change the hard coded MAC address. Technitium MAC
Address Changer instructs Windows(TM) to use MAC address it has specified in windows
registry. If no MAC address is specified to Windows(TM), it uses the hard coded one in
the NIC to construct Ethernet or IEEE network frames (or simply packets), which are
used at OSI layer 2. Also Windows(TM) changes MAC address of your NIC when
Windows(TM) Network Bridge is enabled. The first number in the MAC address of the NIC
added in the Network Bridge is set to 0x02. Changing MAC address of Network Bridge is
not possible in Windows(TM) using this software.
How Does It Work ?
This software just writes a value into the windows registry. When the Network Adapter
Device is enabled, windows searches for the registry value 'NetworkAddress' in the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-
11CE-BFC1- 08002bE10318}\[ID of NIC e.g. 0001]. If a value is present, windows will
use it as MAC address, if not, windows will use the hard coded manufacturer provided
MAC address. Simple? Some Network Adapter drivers have this facility built-in. It can be
found in the Advance settings tab in the Network Adapter's Device properties in Windows
Device Manager.

How To Change MAC Address

1. Starting MAC address changer will list all available network adapters.

2. Select the adapter you want to change the MAC address. You will get the details of
your selection below.

3. Click Change MAC button, enter new MAC address and click Change Now button and
confirm changes you made when prompted.

4. To restore the original MAC address of the network adapter, select the adapter, click
Change MAC button and then click Original MAC button and confirm changes you made
when prompted.

NOTE: This tool cannot change MAC address of Microsoft Network Bridge. Network
Bridge will automatically use the original MAC address of the first NIC added into bridge
with the first octet of MAC address set to 0x02.
