MAC Changer

This repository provides tools to change or reset MAC addresses on different operating systems: Windows, Linux, and macOS. The tools are implemented in C++ and each supports a set of functionalities tailored to their respective platforms.

Files

1. WIN-MAC-Changer.cpp

This file contains a Windows-specific MAC address changer implemented using WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation). It allows you to:

• Reset a network interface.
• (The functionality to set a MAC address is not implemented in this example.)

Usage:

WIN-MAC-Changer.exe -r <interface_name>

• -r <interface_name>: Reset the network interface specified by <interface_name>

Example:

WIN-MAC-Changer.exe -r "Ethernet"

2. LIN-MAC-Changer.cpp

This file contains a Linux-specific MAC address changer that utilizes system commands. It provides functionality to:

• Reset a network interface.
• Set a new MAC address for a network interface.

Usage:

LIN-MAC-Changer -r <interface_name>
LIN-MAC-Changer -s <interface_name> <mac_address>

• -r <interface_name>: Reset the network interface specified by <interface_name>
• -s <interface_name> <mac_address>: Set a new MAC address for <interface_name>

Example:

LIN-MAC-Changer -r eth0
LIN-MAC-Changer -s eth0 00:11:22:33:44:55

3. MacOS-MAC-Changer.cpp

This file is for macOS and provides tools to:

• Reset a network interface.
• Set a new MAC address.

Usage:

MacOS-MAC-Changer -r <interface_name>
MacOS-MAC-Changer -s <mac_address>

• -r <interface_name>: Reset the network interface specified by <interface_name>
• -s <mac_address>: Set a new MAC address

Example:

MacOS-MAC-Changer -r en0
MacOS-MAC-Changer -s 00:11:22:33:44:55

Building

To build these tools, you need to have a C++ compiler and the respective platform's development tools installed.

For Windows:

1. Open the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio.

2. Navigate to the directory containing WIN-MAC-Changer.cpp.

3. Compile using:

   cl WIN-MAC-Changer.cpp /link /out:WIN-MAC-Changer.exe

For Linux:

1. Open a terminal.

2. Navigate to the directory containing LIN-MAC-Changer.cpp.

3. Compile using:

   g++ LIN-MAC-Changer.cpp -o LIN-MAC-Changer

For macOS:

1. Open a terminal.

2. Navigate to the directory containing MacOS-MAC-Changer.cpp.

3. Compile using:

   g++ MacOS-MAC-Changer.cpp -o MacOS-MAC-Changer

Notes

• Permissions: Changing MAC addresses generally requires administrative privileges. Ensure you run the tools with sufficient permissions.
• Error Handling: Error handling is basic in these examples. For production use, consider enhancing error checking and handling.
