In this quick guide, I will show you how to change the MAC address of network interfaces in Kali Linux. We will use three different tools (ifconfig, macchanger, and ip) to perform this task.
1. Using ifconfig
To change the MAC address using ifconfig, follow these steps:
ifconfig interface_name down
ifconfig interface_name hw ether <new_mac>
ifconfig interface_name up
2. Using macchanger
To change the MAC address using macchanger, follow these steps:
ifconfig interface_name down
macchanger -r interface_name (-r for random mac address)
ifconfig interface_name up
3. Using ip
To change the MAC address using the ip command, follow these steps:
ip link set interface_name down
ip link set interface_name address 00:11:22:33:44:55
ip link set interface_name up
