Is the MAC address of the guest the same that the host's for another machine in the same wlan?

Hi, 

I am attempting to perform a MAC spoofing attack.

I am running a Kali Linux virtual machine (VMWare) in MacOS with bridged networking option.

MacOS (victim) communicates with another machine (machine B) in the same wlan, and I want Kali Linux to be the man in the middle. However, even-though I can spoof the MAC forwarding table of the victim, machine B associates the same MAC address for both IP addresses of the victim and the attacker.

Do all machines in the same wlan see the VM's MAC address equal to the host because VMWare translates the virtual MAC address to the host's one?

Thank you in advance!

Bridged connection or NAT connection?

Bridged connection! I want Kali Linux (attacker) to be in the physical network as a separated machine from the others machines standpoint.

AFAIK, the physical network sees a single MAC address for the host and VM's.  That's why a lot of corporate network gear has issues with bridged networking (only will issue one IP per MAC).

Oh, that's what I had imagined. Do you know if I can fix this problem using a network wireless USB adapter ?

That should work, just pass it through to the guest and have it manage that connection.
