changing mac address using macchanger

 

 Hello guys pytools here, back again with another article. Today we are going to learn how you can change your Linux Mac address with  the help of mac address changer.

So let's get started.

Before diving into the usage instructions for macchanger, you'll need to have it installed on your system. Most likely, it won't be installed by default since it's a rather niche application. You can use your Linux distro's built-in package manager to install macchanger. Use the appropriate command below to install it.

 To install macchanger on Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint:

          apt get install macchanger

once you get install macchanger on your system you are ready to go: 

Before we start using the macchanger command, you'll need to know the name of the network interface that you want to work with. You can execute the ifconfig command to see a list of all the available network interfaces on your system. In most cases this will include a wired, wireless, and loopback interface. as you can see in my case interface name is enp0s3

 

 

once you get interface name you are ready to go:

Now we can begin to change the MAC address. Follow along with the step by step instructions below to see how. Note that you will need root permissions in order to execute the macchanger command.

If you need to use a specific MAC address, you can do that with the -m option and the following command syntax. 

$ sudo macchanger -m b2:aa:0e:56:ed:f7 enp0s3

Use the -r option to get a random MAC address. In addition, just specify the name of your network interface.  

$ sudo macchanger -r enp0s3
