Anyone know a good way to change the MAC address permanently? I know there are some tools that do this but then MAC resets comes back after restarting. If i am able to spoof it, will the website or third party by any means can find the original MAC?

Where can i get the MAC address which i can use? just putting random numbers prolly wont work right? shit am a newbie and fucking confused.

Websites can't find your MAC address. They can find your IP address only.

And, in windows I'm not sure how effectively you can hide your MAC to the installed applications permanently though MAC spoofing can be done at the network level.

What kind of applications to which you want to hide your MAC?

Actually they can, it just requires really low security settings

I don't see any possibilities that websites can get the MAC address of users. Browsers don't send MAC address via HTTP.

May I know what those low security settings you mean are?

I am aware that If a user allows to run a client application prompted by the website (Example - Some java applications) it can get the MAC from the system depending on the permissions grunted to that application.

you can get it in Adobe Air applications.

var networkInterface : Object = NetworkInfo.networkInfo.findInterfaces();
var networkInfo : Object = networkInterface[0];
var physicalAddress : String = networkInfo.hardwareAddress.toString();

Every piece of networking hardware has a MAC address...your router, modem, network card, onboard lan, etc. Changing the physical MAC address (as opposed to spoofing) is going to be specific to the exact brand and model of the hardware you want to alter, and is pretty much impossible for the average person.

Java applets can get MAC address info in certain security environments, so can ActiveX in IE.
 
Easiest way, truthfully: Just use a different network card. It's tied to the network card. So if you have Ethernet onboard, plug in a PCI card and use that instead. If you have a wireless adapter, plug in a USB wireless adapter (edit: and disable your old one). Easier than trying to hack it with software.
 
Run a virtual machine - with VMWare you can set the mac address or have it create a random one.
