Is MAC spoofing possible?

MAC spoofing is a technique for changing a factory-assigned Media Access Control (MAC) address of a network interface on a networked device. … The process of masking a MAC address is known as MAC spoofing. Essentially, MAC spoofing entails changing a computer’s identity, for any reason, and it is relatively easy.

What causes MAC spoofing?

One reason is because MAC addresses sent over public LAN or WLAN networks are usually unencrypted. Every user on the network can then track which devices are registered in the network, read out the respective hardware addresses, and use them for illegal activities. Hackers use this opportunity to surf anonymously.
