    Easy to spoof in software (use smacs, arpspoof, etc.) but hardware is
    better. The lazy will just "repeat" the desired MAC using a router, but my
    preference is the Speeddemon line with true hardware MAC programmability
    (including gigabit):

    It is almost always possible to find a computer that is down to spoof
    (especially good are little-used isolated machines at legacy pooled
    scanners, etc.). The brutal will "force" another target computer offline
    before stealing its MAC (yes, this risks detection but is surprisingly
    effective if done right)

    Not that this cannot be countered - anything can! - but professional tools
    are a joy to use :-)
