Re: [PEN-TEST] Changing MAC address on Win2k

[Abe Getchell <agetchel () KDE STATE KY US>]

Hi Parth,
        Some NIC drivers allow you to change the MAC address, so you may
want to check in the configuration for the Ethernet card you have installed.
It depends on what kind of NIC is in the machine, so YMMV...

Thanks,
Abe
