Automate MAC & HOSTNAME changes in Linksys WRT54G NAT wireless router

yellowgirlnc · 2007-05-20T05:50:10+00:00

Is there an existing automated way to change the MAC address & hostname ofmy home ROUTER (Linksys WRT54G)?I know about Gorlani's MacMakeUp manual MAC address-spoofing tool but itworks on the WinXP computer - but this doesn't help anyone behind a NATrouter - as the ROUTER's MAC address is what the Internet "sees"( I can change the MAC address of the Linksys WRT54G wireless NATby going to the Linksys WRT54G MAC Address tool inside the router athttp://192.168.10.10/ - which works fine - and can do the samewith the router HOSTNAME (which the Internet also sees) - but these changesare all manual.Since the Linksys WRT54G router runs Linux, I started googling for a moreautomated way to periodically change both the router's MAC address (whichis the only MAC address the Internet sees) and the router's host name. Isoon came across you guys in the process (e.g., Mad Macs changes both thehost name and MAC address of the PC NIC card(). But MadMacs won't do a thing to change the MAC address or HOSTNAME shown to theInternet because the ROUTER's hostname and MAC address are what theInternet "sees".In digging through your archives for a script to run on the ROUTER, I seeyou guys wrote automated scripts to spoof the MAC address & hostname ofWindows & Linux PCs() ... butbeing behind a NAT ......Has anyone yet written a program to automatically change the MAC address &HOSTNAME of the wireless router?I also asked this question at binrev but haven't seen any response yet

I certainly activated JAP by following their pretty good wizard. But you may be correct in that my "security guage" just says "OK". It does not point to "fair" or "high".

I'll click around to see why I don't have "high" security enabled in JAP. You're probably right that that is the problem.

I changed a few settings and now astalavista does NOT see my IP address. Whooooopiiiieeeee!

I still only have a midway point between "OK" and "Fair" security on the JAP Anonymouse Proxy speedometer.

What do we need to do to get "High" security in JAP?
