ryan,

your mac address would only change if you got a new network interface card (NIC), not a new graphic card. you can easily change your mac address within Linux, either using the ifconfig command or the macchanger command. It can also be done in windows but I can’t recall of the top of my head how it’s done. Hope that helps.

Does my mac adresse change if I upgrade my computer with some other hardware? For example change the graphic card?

You’re right there are some great programs out there that will do this for you. I like to use Ettercap but Cain & Abel works as well. These programs are fun to play with and it’s surprising to see how many usernames and passwords go in the clear with these tools.

thanks for the good post…

One thing to mention would be apps that actually use ARP spoofing to accomplish MITM attacks. In stead of “oooo there is a creepy way to be “hacked” say here is a program to do it with and here is how you can use it and here is a good way to protect yourself from it”

the program I use is “Cain & Abel” and just for the info Cain can sniff SSL and SSH1 (not SSH2 or VPN)
