Questions About Mac address in WPA2-Enterprise network
« on: January 29, 2014, 09:15:44 am »
Hi guys, as you know, in schools/companies, we use public network(cable/wifi, which is wpa2), so if offers probability to peers or managers to track your Mac address or Ip address.
1) Is there a way to camouflage or even hide the mac/ip address using wifi?
2) How about using the cable to do 1)?
3) How to pretend the network manager or other users to listen to your network activity?


Any reply would be appreciated!!!




Oke so and what if they used a different key for everyone, would that not defeat the purpose of changing MAC's and addresses :) 
i completely agreeJust look on here. or google the following:"change mac address on windows/linux/router""change ip address ..."you get the point.
All three of your questions were worded poorly/didn't make sense. I did understand the first one however, and there is lot's of tutorials here on how to do that very easily. Not to mention even more on Google...
im not sure what your asking. mac addresses as well as internal IP addresses can be changed on your system. 1) are you trying to change/camouflage the mac/ip address of your own box? or the router itself? I dont understand what you  mean in questions 2 and 3. if you dont mind me asking, to what purpose are you attempting to hide your mac addresses and ip address?Thank you for all these replies! I am thinking to change at least the router's mac address first, so that other people can not track your real mac address. And if possible, i would change ip address as well.  All these behaviours are for security.



Thank you for all replies!

I am not sure I understand what you're asking. A MAC address is a unique address or "identifier" assigned to your network device when it is in production.

But when you're on a network, such as your home network or school network, for packets etc to travel to their destination they need to know where to go, so they find their destination essentially through IP address.

The way it works is:

You, the client connect to the network.
You request an IP address from the router
Router gives you an IP address and stores what MAC address is assigned to that IP address
When data comes through that is destined to you, it checks it up with the router and sees what MAC address is asgined to your IP. Data delivered!

There are many ways to essentially "change" or "spoof" your MAC address. As always Google is your friend for such tools, I use "mac changer".
