Hi.
In this lesson, we are going to understand that how you can spoof or change your Mac address of your
system.
So what is Mac address?
Mac stands for Media Access Control.
It is also known as a hardware address or a physical address or a bond address of your device.
This address is engraved on your nick card, which is your network interface card.
Your device can be identified based on the Mac address that what is or your device's maker etc..
Now this Mac address is generally being sent to any website or any software or program that we use,
which can use this specific Mac address to do some kind of snooping or identification.
So in this lesson, we will see how you can change your Mac or ether address.
So the first thing that we are going to do is make our wireless adapter down.
Then we are going to change it.
Mac address using our tool, which is Mac changer.
Let's jump to the practical time and let's see how this can be done.
So you can see currently I'm on my terminal and I'm going to write the first command which is if config
you can see the adapter is w len zero, which is my wireless card and my ether address is one C and
ends with E seven.
Ether address is also called as the Mac address.
This is the original Mac address of our device.
Now we are going to change the Mac.
As you can see here, the tool is mac changer hyphen h stands for help menu where we can see the help
menu for all the options.
Now we're going to change the Mac.
Before doing that, we need to turn our adapter off or take it down.
So we're going to use the command i f config w len zero down.
Now you're going to change the MAC address.
Let's say we give a random mac address.
So the command would be mac changer hyphen r, which stands for random and the adapter which is the
blue len zero.
You can see the current Mac address and the new Mac address that has been given, which is a fake Mac
address.
This can also be verified by sending a request or a pin command to another system and capturing the
traffic in Wireshark.
You would be able to see the new Mac address is being sent to the next device and it cannot identify
that the traffic is coming from which adapter.
As we can see, we have confirmed the MAC address has changed of our adapter.
Now let's go back and change it to the original ETA address on Mac address.
So I'm going to take it down and I'm going to use the command hyphen P, which stands for Permanent
Address.
As you can see, we have changed the new Mac, which is exactly same as our permanent Mac, which can
also be verified from here.
So this way we can change our Mac address to a random address.
You can also specify any specific address that you want.
And we also saw how to return back to our original address using the command match changer hyphen P,
which stands for permanent and the adapter name, which is the Blue Line zero.
I hope you guys understood this.
Thank you.
