Technitium MAC Address Changer allows you to change (spoof) 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.
There are some famous, commercial tools available in the market for USD 39.99 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.

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. 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. In the Information tab, find the Change MAC Address frame. Enter new MAC address in
the field and click Change Now! button. You may even click Random MAC Address button
to fill up a randomly selected MAC address from the vendor list available.
4. To restore the original MAC address of the network adapter, select the adapter, click Restore
Original button in the Change MAC Address frame.
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.

This is an awesome tool to Change MAC Address of the NIC. However, there are so many software which claims that they can change MAC Address but they don't stand on the expectation.
