How to change MAC address with batch file on Windows 7? [closed]

Question

I want to change with simple click (using a batch file) the MAC address of my wireless device. How I'll accomplish this? It needs to choose a random MAC address.

Answer 1

I am not sure if this is completely correct but it would be something like:

In a .reg file

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0009]
"NetworkAddress"="000011112222"

The 0009 would have to change to match the address you your adapter.

Answer 2

There is a changeMac.bat file.

@echo off
netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" disable
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0007 /v NetworkAddress /d 002622D90EFC /f
netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" enable
echo Ok, enjoy it :)

There are three place you may need change: Local Area Connection, 0007, 002622D90EFC. Note: you must open regedit to find out what you should change the 0007 argument to. The Mac address has some rules: the second bit must be one of these numbers: 0 2 6 A E.

There is a recoverMac.bat that you may need.

@echo off
netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" disable
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0007 /v NetworkAddress /f
netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" enable
echo Ok,enjoy it :)

Answer 3

Run next command from batch file:

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001 /v NetworkAddress /d 0123456789AB

Replace 0001 with your interface number and 0123456789AB with desired network addres.

Answer 4

Here is the definite batch file for changing MAC address on Windows 7: Like the (misleading) title of this question, it's missing the random part (left as an exercise to replace set /p with a call to a generator label). Handy now, with all this Denial-of-service-ing comeback...

:: Change MAC script by bobdynlan, release 1
:: For each network adapter it will list RegPath, GUID, Name, previous modified MAC if exists
:: Then you can input new MAC, clear previous MAC by inputting 0 or skip by pressing [Enter]
:: You can paste directly from ipconfig or wireshark because : < > { } [ ] - ( ) . will be filtered out
:: Note that for wireless in Win7 standard drivers has to start with 02... 06... 0A... 0E...

ChangeMAC.bat

This batch script better formatted and all executables referenced with their fully qualified file names and other small changes resulting in same execution behavior as the more compact batch file above written by Bob Dynlan:

:: Change MAC script by bobdynlan, release 1
:: For each network adapter it will list RegPath, GUID, Name, previous modified MAC if exists
:: Then you can input new MAC, clear previous MAC by inputting 0 or skip by pressing [Enter]
:: You can paste directly from ipconfig or wireshark because : < > { } [ ] - ( ) . will be filtered out
:: Note that for wireless in Win7 standard drivers has to start with 02... 06... 0A... 0E...

Answer 5

you can use Technitium MAC Address changer command line to do it. Only you need to have it installed on the target machine.

Answer 6

1. batch script yourself a cmd line regedit.
2. Change the registry key value, like link here: http://www.windowsreference.com/networking/how-to-change-mac-address-in-windows-registry/
