This tool is a scriptkiddy tool, that allows you to change the mac address to the network adapter of your choice. Please note that this is temporary, and after your shutdown/restart your machine the mac address goes back to normal. Out of all seriousness this tool isn't needed. if you would like to change your mac address to the network adapter of your choice just use the "ifconfig" command. it has many options.

ifconfig eth0 down

ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
