RE: Changing the mac address on Windows 2000 and XP

SMAC is a good old tool that will allow you to perform the trick; I don't
know if other similar tools have been written since then.

To prevent/detect such thing to happen should be implemented IMOH at host
level (restrict user's privileges/ detect attempt with hIDS / use higher
layer authentication mechanism).


Best regards,

Subject: Changing the mac address on Windows 2000 and XP

Hi all,

Is there any way to change the mac address of a LAN card in Windows 
2000 and Windows XP?

As a corollary to the question, how would one detect if a computer 
was changing its mac address? This is assuming that the network on 
which this machine is connected has DHCP enabled.
