A 48-bit MAC address (e.g., 08:4f:b5:05:56:a0) is a globally unique identifier associated with a physical network interface, which is assigned by a manufacturer of the corresponding network interface card. Higher 24 bits in a MAC address (also known as OUI or "Organizationally Unique Identifier") uniquely identify the organization which has issued the MAC address, so that there is no conflict among all existing MAC addresses.

While a MAC address is a manufacturer-assigned hardware address, it can actually be modified by a user. This practice is often called "MAC address spoofing." In this tutorial, I am going to show how to spoof the MAC address of a network interface on Linux.

If you’ve bought yourself a DSLR and, after unpacking it from the box, you are intimidated by the number of buttons and dials, and by the thickness of the manual, it can be very tempting to put the manual down, flick it onto ‘Auto’ and start shooting.  Whilst that is fine for some, it may not be long until you crave the creative control that inspired you to purchase a DSLR in the first place, but where do you begin?

AMD has moved to a legacy software support structure for these graphics accelerator products in an effort to better focus development resources on future products.

In the last years, the USB flash memory drives have evolved a lot, from the capacity of 256mb to 128gb and maybe even more. The interesting thing is that their capacity isn’t the only thing that evolved, the design also suffered some lovely changes. New and inventive designs are put on memory sticks almost every week, the products being either really cheap and accessible or expensive and luxurious. In this article, you will see the coolest of all USB flash drive collection, having bad ass looking drives, useful ones, crazy looking ones but more important, inventive and interesting pieces of work.
