James, thank you for the useful tip. The output of macchanger: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
# macchanger eth1 |
| 35 |
Current MAC: 00:15:17:1a:6e:6d (Intel Corporate) |
| 36 |
Faked MAC: 00:15:17:1a:6e:6e (Intel Corporate) |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
# macchanger eth0 |
| 40 |
Current MAC: 00:15:17:1a:6e:6c (Intel Corporate) |
| 41 |
Faked MAC: 00:15:17:1a:6e:6d (Intel Corporate) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |

How is it possible? I thought NIC has one MAC only.What does mean |
| 45 |
'Faked MAC'? |
