Title: MAC spoofing in Virtualbox
Post by: cache on March 19, 2012, 03:19 pm
I run a Debian based distro on my net book and have a Broadcom based card which I have always had trouble spoofing the MAC on. For another layer of protection I want to use a Debian based distro on a virtual machine and restore from a snapshot each time I use it, keeping this machine exclusively for this sort of business.
Is there a way to spoof the MAC address for the virtual machine or does it use the MAC of the host machine's network adapter?

If you use NAT'ed virtual adapter so the virtual OS can access the internet, the packets, when exiting your machine, will be NATed so that the source MAC address will be that of the real physical network card, AFAIK. Yes, I think as long as the actual real network adapter is used, it will be its address that the internet will see. Have you tried googling for a solution for your particular adapter, or searching for "spoofing mac address broadcom" in general, or sth like that? I suppose you have..

Download and install 'macchanger' (on your debian), should do the job.
