How do I mask my MAC address
Post 50526 by PenguinDevil on Monday 26th of April 2004 02:26:13 PM

thanks , never noticed the MAC was under ether in my "ifconfig" in wireless, got it to change. All I need to know now is if my computer will broadcast a changed MAC after I have already connected to the network using the original MAC, i.e. will it ask for a new IP as that previous IP is assigned to the original MAC on the network, or will I just get dissconected 
PS:
command to change ur MAC in FreeBSD is
'ifconfig <interface> link <address>'
Make sure the address u specify follows the standard format for MAC addresses, i.e. xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc, .... (took me 2 hrs to figure that out
.... damn it)...oh and I dont know if u should really change the first 4 parameters of the MAC, because they might be assigned to the company that ur computer belongs to...still not sure... will try and tell you guys later;
Peace

ethers
ETHERS(5) BSD File Formats Manual ETHERS(5) NAME
ethers -- Ethernet host name data base DESCRIPTION
The ethers file maps Ethernet MAC addresses to host names. Lines consist of an address and a host name, separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A '#' character indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file. Each line in ethers has the format: ethernet-MAC-address hostname-or-IP Ethernet MAC addresses are expressed as six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, e.g. "08:00:20:00:5a:bc". The functions described in ethers(3) and ether_aton(3) can read and produce this format. The traditional use of ethers involved using hostnames for the second argument. This may not be suitable for machines that don't have a com- mon MAC address for all interfaces (i.e., just about every non Sun machine). There should be no problem in using an IP address as the second field if you wish to differentiate between different interfaces on a system. FILES
/etc/ethers The ethers file resides in /etc. SEE ALSO
ethers(3) HISTORY
The ethers file format was adopted from SunOS and appeared in NetBSD 1.0. BUGS
A name server should be used instead of a static file. BSD
