Spoofing your MAC address in Windows

A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network adapters or network interface cards (NICs) usually by the manufacturer for identification. It may also be known as an Ethernet Hardware Address (EHA), hardware address, adapter address, or physical address. In many networks, the mac address based filtering is applied and this can be easily bypassed by spoofing the MAC address.


To spoof the MAC address of your PC in wireless or wired LAN, you can use the software called MACMakeUp

Download it HERE

To find your original MAC address, just type ipconfig /all and you will see the physical address of 6 hex pairs. In order to spoof the MAC address, enter the new MAC address after running the Mac Makeup program.
