Question 3

Procedures for Spoof a MAC Address using SMAC


Snapshot (STEP 1)
After opening the URL www.klcconsulting.net/smac we got the home page of SMAC.

After getting the home page of www.klcconsulting.net/smac, we had downloaded the SMAC 2.0 using the default installation process by agreeging the licence agreement. Then after we had launched the SMAC that appears in menu bar and selected the proceed option. (Textbook, Network Security, pg.222)

Snapshot (STEP 7)
After launched the SMAC we got the following dialog box of SMAC.

This dialog box shows the network interface card adapters that has been seen. For changing the MAC address we had to choose network adapter and we need to give MAC address in New Spoofed MAC address. (Textbook, Network Security, pg.222)


Snapshot (STEP 9)
After giving the new MAC address we need to record this MAC address under Active MAC option.

If we need to build a new MAC address, we had to click on Random button and then after give the new MAC address and the Update MAC button will be activated which allows us to add the newly created MAC address. (Textbook, Network Security, pg.223)



Snapshot (STEP 11)


After updating the newly created MAC address click OK to complete Adapter Restart.

After updating the new MAC address, we had to restart the computer.


Snapshot (STEP 13)


After we restart the computer we need to check whether the MAC adress has been changed or not. So for that we need to open the command prompt.




Fig: Snapshot showing opening the command prompt.


To check the MAC address we need to type ipconfig/showall.


Snapshot (STEP 14)


After typing ipconfig/showall, it shows IP address, MAC address , and many
The MAC address it shows is the current newly added MAC address which can be seen in the snapshot. (Textbook, Network Security, pg.223)




Fig: Snapshot showing the newly added MAC address.


This MAC address showing in the command prompt is not the original MAC address and if we need to view the roiginal MAc address, we need to go back and launch the SMAC again and select the Remove MAC option. After that we need to restart the computer again and open the command prompt and type the ipconfig/showall.
It will show the original MAC address of the computer.
So this project shows that we can change the MAC address i.e. we can configure the fake or proxy MAC address.
