I demonstrate how to overcome the obstacle of networks using access control lists based on MAC address.

commands to change mac address:

Mac os x:
"sudo ifconfig en1 ether 00:00:00:00:00:01"

Linux:
"sudo ifconfig ath0 down hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01"
"sudo ifconfig ath0 up"

  • But will your program still find the network if the SSID isn't being broadcast???

  • @TheGreatBunghole16 Not in the initial scan of AP's. But (and this is speculation) I believe you could see when people attempt to connect. Just as you can see their MAC address, you could see the SSID or BSSID they are pointing to. So it's possible, but it would make it harder to target.

    If I believed I could be in the presence of such a network, I would scan for a few days, filter out duplicate SSID's or BSSID's, then I have a very good idea of all the networks in the vicinity.

  • @TheGreatBunghole16 A router needs to have up and down communication. Broadcasting the SSID is only a down part. It has no control of network adapters attempting to connect up to it. I would think a unique reference must be made. Otherwise how would the router know which packets were destined to it?

    I may be wrong. You would have to use a tool like this or Wireshark to prove it But I think you'll see an SSID or a BSSID. Something that you can go on. Then just keep going at it.

  • is there anyway I can find my WEP key using Linux that is simple and easy not a long complicated process to crack it?

  • If you don't crack it then, no you can't get it. It's encrypted cracking it is decrypting it. There's no way around it you need the key. You can get it from other methods, but unless someone who knows it gives it to you in some fashion you must crack it.

  • i have winows xp and ive tried many mac changers and get the same results it changes the mac address but cant connect back on the internet why?

    ive tryed smac, tmac ect.

  • Well you have too look up you ip information and see if your getting a valid ip address. Type ipconfig. It should look the same as your router except for the last byte. I'm not sure if any mac address is valid which might result in weird ip addressing or it not working at all since all information is sent by mac address from you to your gateway.

  • you suck so bad and your video is wayyyyy too fast. if you want to assist people you need to go slower and speak more and say what it is that you're typing because we are not all geektastic geniuses like YOU. fucker.

  • Youtube is apparently full of ungrateful fucks.

  • /u stupid or somethin dude ? we coudn't follow you throughout your tutorial wich is supposed to help people !

  • To put virus via the DCHP gateway into the DNS

    Open up INTERNET EXPLORER

    press the following: CRTL + W

    and start laughing or running!!!

  • @strongnoob Even if the IP addresses of two machines are different, you still cannot have two machines on a single WiFi network using the same MAC. Every machine must have a different MAC.

    If one computer is already using a given MAC address, and then another computer comes along and tries to use the same MAC, then there will be a conflict, and one of them (or both) is going to end up unusable until the other one goes away.

  • Yer engrish is FUGLY!!!!
