MAC ADDRESS CHANGE This will change your MAC address

IE in this case, we changed the MAC address on our Alfa wireless card

First notate the mac address

root@kali:~# ifconfig

wlan0: flags=4099 mtu 1500 ether 00:c0:ca:5a:05:b7 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

Next we need to take down the wireless interface

root@kali:~# ifconfig wlan0 down

Now we need to change the mac address to something (I didn't change much because this can cause issues if you type in a crazy MAC address like 00:00:00:00:00:00)

root@kali:~# macchanger --mac=00:c0:ca:5a:05:b6 wlan0

Now we will get the output.

root@kali:~# macchanger --mac=00:c0:ca:5a:05:b6 wlan0 Current MAC: 00:c0:ca:5a:05:b7 (ALFA, INC.) Permanent MAC: 00:c0:ca:5a:05:b7 (ALFA, INC.) New MAC: 00:c0:ca:5a:05:b6 (ALFA, INC.)

Now we will take the interface back up

root@kali:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
