About
This tutorial will teach you how to change your ip address to any other one on
your ip range instead of having your DHCP Server pick one for you. This is very
usefull because you can change your ip when you are getting DDoS'ed or if you wish
to piss off someone running a webserver (or other service) on your ip range, it is
also usefull to get around a bans as long as the ban only covered your ip not your
whole ip range.

As usualy anything illegal you do while reading this tutorial or after reading
this tutorial is not my fault, your actions are your own so don't blame me. I do
not claim that the things I teach are legal, so concider that everything i mention
here is illegal if you are not sure your self.

II. Needed Information

Before you can change your ip you need some information. This information includes
your ip range, subnet mask, default gateway, dhcp server, and dns serv.

1. Getting your IP range - Getting information about your ip range is not

difficult, I recomend using Neo Trace on your own ip. But for our test just look
at your ip address, say it's 24.193.110.13 you can definetly use the ip's found
between 24.193.110.1 < [new ip] < 24.193.110.255, dont use x.x.x.1 or x.x.x.255.
To find your ip simply open a dos/command prompt window and type ipconfig at the
prompt, look for "IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : x.x.x.x".

2. Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DHCP Server - These are very easy to find, just
open a dos/command prompt window and type 'ipconfig /all' without the ' '. You
should see something like this.

This is all the information you will need for now, I sugest you either keep your
dos/command prompt window open or copy & paste the information somewhere, to copy
right click the window and select text and click once.
III. Changing your IP Address
To change your ip address first pick any ip you like out of your ip range and
remember it or write it down. It is usualy a good idea to make sure the ip is dead
(except for what we are going to do later on) so just ping it via "ping x.x.x.x"
and if it times out then you can use it. Now go to My Computer, then Control
Panel. In Control Panel select Network Connections and pick your active
connection, probably Local Area Connection or your ISP name. Open that connection
by double clicking on the icon in Network Connections, then select Properties
under the General Tab. In the new window that pops up select Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) and click properties, it's under the general tab. In this new window
select the General tab and choose "Use the following IP address" and for the IP
address enter the ip you would like to use (the one you picked from your subnet
earlier) and for the Subnet Mask enter the subnet mask you got when your ran
ipconfig /all, same goes for the Default Gateway. Now select "Use the following
DNS server addresses" and enter the information you got earlier. Now just click
OK. Test that it worked, try to refresh a website and if it works you know
everything is okay and you are connected. To make sure the change worked type
ipconfig agein and the ip address should have changed to your new one.

IV. DDoS & DoS Protection

If your firewall shows that you are being ddosed, this is usualy when you are
constantly getting atempted UDP connections several times a second from either the
same ip address or multiple ip addresses (ddos), you can protect your self by
changing your ip address via the method i described above

V. Webservers & Other Services

If you know someone on your ip range is running a webserver and he or she has
pissed you off or you just like messing around you can "steal" their ip address so
any dns going to that ip will show your site instead because you would be running
a webserver your self.

To "steal" an ip is to basicaly use the changing ip address method above and

picking an ip that someone that is running a webserver has in use. Often you will
be able to keep that ip at least for some time, other times you wont be able to
use it so just keep trying untill it works. You your self will need to have a web
server on the same port with your message. You can do this with other services
too. You can also DoS or DDoS the ip address you are trying to steal to kick him
off the net, but I dont recomend as its pretty illegal, your isp will get pissed
and feds may go ape-shit.

Edit:
How-To: Methods To Changing Your IP Address

Theory:
Your public IP address is connected to the MAC address of your network card in
your computer. If you shut off the power to your cable modem for just 30 seconds
and then reconnect you will obtain in most cases the same IP address as before.
This because it remembers your MAC address in your computer. When you change your
MAC address you will obtain a different IP address beacause the DHCP server of the
telnet server thinks you connected another computer.

CASE 1: I'm directly connected to my modem

HOW TO:
1.Dowload 'SMAC' from http://www.livedesign.be/smac.rar
2.Install SMAC and open the executable.
3.Select the network card that is connected to your modem.
4.At the center you can change your MAC address.
5.You don't have to change the whole address, just change for example "E4" to "E5"
or "D1" to "D2". But remember the original address!
After you've changed it, click *update MAC*
6.Now unplug the power cord from your modem for 30 seconds, after 30 seconds plug
it back in. Wait till the modem is started up.
7.Right click on your network card icon and choose the first option to disable the
network connection.
8.Right click again on your network card icon and choose the first option to
enable the network connection.

If everything went fine you will have a new IP address.

Repeat from step 5 to change your IP address.

After everything is complete you can give your original MAC address back.

CASE 2: I'm behind a broadband router

Method 1 (recommended method):

1.Directly connect your cable modem with the network card of your computer.
2.Now start from step 1 in CASE 1

Method 2:

This will only work if you have a router with a
1. Pull out the network cable that is connected
This cable is comming from your modem.
2. Plug this cable into one of the LAN ports on
The other computer(s) must also be connected to

these LAN ports (default!).

To use your router as before you must pull out the power cord to your router for
30-60 seconds and then reconnect it.
