The ethernet address (MAC) is the address of the sending machine. Is it possible to spoof this address also? Would someone have to write a custom ethernet driver?
It is possible to do, and most any packet sniffer capable of sending packets of its own can do this. There aren't really any APIs to do it, so you'll most likely have to add your own hook between the IP layer and the media layer (differently done in different types of OS:es, but basically the same idea), but it'll still be NIC independent, which is good. -- Mikael Olsson, EnterNet Sweden AB, Box 393, S-891 28 ÖRNSKÖLDSVIK Phone: +46 (0)660 105 50 Fax: +46 (0)660 122 50 Mobile: +46 (0)70 248 00 33 WWW: http://www.enternet.se E-mail: mikael.olsson () enternet se
