How to change MAC Address of a device?

MAC address stands for Media Access Control address. It’s a permanent and a unique address assigned to network interfaces by device manufacturers. It is used within the network to identify devices and transfer data between them.

In the world, no 2 devices have the same MAC address and this address will be permanent for a specific device even if you unplug it from your PC, connect it to another PC and so on, the MAC address of that particular device remains the same throughout.

Each packet of data that is sent within the network contains a source MAC and a destination MAC. Hence, the data packets flow from the device with the source MAC Address to the device having the destination MAC address.

In this video, we will learn how to change the MAC Address of the adapter.
