This research investigates the technique of MAC address spoofing, which allows users to bypass network restrictions by changing the unique identifier associated with their device's network interface. This research study aims to explore the methods and motivations behind MAC address spoofing attempts and assess their potential impact on network security. Here, participants are asked to provide the URL of the target web application and the desired MAC address to be spoofed. The application launches the browser with the modified MAC address, enabling the user to attempt to access the restricted application. The study's objectives include promoting responsible digital use, understanding the consequences of MAC address spoofing, and addressing the evolving security challenges in the digital age. By gaining insights into the techniques and motivations behind MAC address spoofing, this research contributes to enhancing network security and promoting responsible online behavior.
