How to change your MAC address using ifconfig in Linux!

[Mark]

I'm 99% sure I've wrote something on this before but using macchanger instead and I can't find it so here's how to change your mac address using ifconfig.

Replace <interface> with your interface...

Put your interface down.

Code:

ifconfig <interface> down

Change your interface's MAC address.

Code:

ifconfig <interface> hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55

Bring your interface up.

Code:

ifconfig <interface> up

Checking your interface's new MAC address.

Code:

ifconfig <interface>

The person Mark stole this from used it for an Airport router that disconnected you after 40 minutes. It helps you keep anonymous to. Not a full thing, but it's one extra layer.

I never stole it, it was in my head.
