Howdy.  This here's a distribution of scrap v0.3.  Scrap is a handy
loadable module for linux that will change a computer's ethernet
address (that's the ethernet adaptor's hardware address, not the IP
address, which is much easier to mess with) for a time.

How's it used?  Glad you asked.  All it takes is three easy steps.
First, unpack the distribution and build it by typing 'make.'  Second,
find a cool ethernet address and decide which ethernet device you'll
be wanting to mess with.  Last, insert the module with insmod.  Here's
an example command line:

insmod scrap.o name=eth0 address=0x9,0xa,0xb,0xc,0xd,0xe

This would alter the hardware address of device eth0 to 9:a:b:c:d:e.
Now, say you wanted to go back to your old address.  No worries, just
remove the module:

rmmod scrap

Presto, everything's back to normal.

WARNING:  Some people, who may be system administrators, may be less
than enthusiastic if you use this module.  But hey, lots of people are
always upset about something, so draw your own conclusions.

Finally, we'd just like to say that we wrote this code to learn a
thing or two, not to break into any systems (systems we have no wish
to break into include the Department of Defense, the White House, and
Princeton University).  Anyway, we're sure there are lots of good uses
for this code, so we're releasing it under the GPL.
