PSP MAC Address Changer

[Shrygue]

Here's the result of using the MAC address changer application: It's a bit blurry because my web camera is a bit dodgy but the MAC address displays 00:00:00:00:00:00.

YKB, your mac address shown on screen when using a wlan adopter stll remains the same as it was originally though? im guessing its not 00:00:00 etc ?

[Shrygue]

That is correct. My wireless router still sees the true MAC address of my PSP instead of what's shown on the screen in System Settings. It's because the official MAC is hardcoded in the wi-fi card itself.

I see. Thanks for confirming.

Hey, no problem at all.

.....if the MAC is found in the file you edit, would the firmware number ALSO be found in there? or is that another file?

"A MAC address, short for Media Access Control address, is a unique code assigned to most forms of networking hardware. The address is permanently assigned to the hardware, so limiting a wireless network's access to hardware -- such as wireless cards -- is a security feature employed by closed wireless networks. But an experienced hacker -- armed with the proper tools -- can still figure out an authorized MAC address, masquerade as a legitimate address and access a closed network."
