How often you change you NIC MAC Address?

digitaly · 29-05-09, 12:10 AM

Hi folks, just a quick one. I change my NIC MAC every time I replace my HFC MAC with another one. This would help make me anonymous on the net. Do you guys use the same MAC NIC all the times? I'm only saying this because I have not seen any posting saying so.
I think it's very important that VM don't see the same computer login on different MACS (aHem! aHem! different modems) all the times.
I use this freeware to change my NIC mac h**p://www.technitium.com/ it's quite easy to use it and very handy to have on your computer for anonimacy . I also clone my router MAC with my NIC MAC so I get the same IP after the configuration. NIC MAC address are your computer finger print Protect your self.
Regards

If you've not seen any posts saying so, you've not been here long enough!

You are correct, change the NIC MAC with every HFC MAC change.
