Are you around in Phuket at the moment? If you are I have some interesting suggestions for your free time!

I'll be in Phuket on the 20th... I look forward to tipping a few with you again...

I'm going to send a few PM's to see if we can arrange a TD pissup, perhaps at The Green Man in Karon if everyone is so inclined...

You've peaked my interest on the hitherto untold suggestions...

Okay, these guys are shit hot on this stuff, if you need any help. Forums

Green Man is actually in Chalong, but it's still a good place to start or end a night out depending on one's preferences!

There are very few reasons to spoof a MAC unless you are trying to do nefarious things. As was mentioned upthread if you really need to do it then run some distro of Linux, then it'll be a doddle..

Actually, it's very doable running windows. Thanks.

Just making sure I understand all my options for an upcoming project.

You do realise that if you steal 1 penny from a bank using the internet they will spend whatever it takes to find you and find out how you done it, and then of course you will go to jail

much like erco did

^It was a lot less complicated when people just walked in with a sawed of shotgun.

**dirtydog** · 10-12-2009, 01:40 AM

sawn is the word your looking for I believe Mr Noodles.

**dirtydog** · 10-12-2009, 01:44 AM

Actually thinking about banks will have to get more aggressive on what they put on your computer and more invasive, luckily they will get away with it as it is protecting their customers, trouble is is that will most likely set a trend of what is acceptable for other types of websites

sawed-off shotgun.

noodles you are still not grasping TCP/IP and MAC addresing.

all NIC's ( network interface card ) on your machine , wifi , LAN , bluetooth , modem , GPRS/EDGE/HSPA/CDMA modem etc will have a MAC address. that MAC address will only be available to the immediate network it is connected to - the wifi LAN , the ethernet LAN , the ISP LAN for modem - GPRS/EDGE/HSPA/CDMA modem etc

the MAC address is not part ot the TCP/IP layers so it does not get transmitted to remote servers. it is mainly used for ARP ( address resolution protocol ) on your immediate LAN.

the only real use to spoof your MAC is to not leave a record of your hardware MAC bound to your network card on the logs of the router of the first step of your connection - ie. if you have connected to some one elses wifi connection.

spoofing your MAC makes no difference if you are trying to conceal your identity to a remote server.

Better he sticks to the more traditional sawn off shotgun I think

**English Noodles** · 10-12-2009, 01:49 PM

^^Okay, thanks for all the help mate, looks like I have enough information to start running a few tests over the next week. Cheers, much appreciate it.

^I have no idea what you are talking about, sir.

dunno - you read the papers and they all seem to have pleaded guilty nowadays

**English Noodles** · 10-12-2009, 02:20 PM

It's nothing criminal that I intend doing by-the-way.

**baldrick** · 10-12-2009, 07:11 PM

just launch from a country that lacks laws covering your electronic transgression

perfectly legal then
