Hi in this lesson?
We are going to understand that how you can spoof
or change your Mac address of your system.
So what this Mac address?
Mac stands for media Access Control
it is also known as a hardware address or
a physical address or a burnt 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 are your devices?
maker
Etc
now
this Mac address is generally been
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 its Mac address
using a tool which is macchanger.
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 ifconfig.
You can see the adapter is WLAN zero,
which is my wireless card and my ether address
is 1C and ends with
E7.
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 Mark 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 are going to use the command. I have config wlan0 down.
Now we are going to change the MAC address. Let's
say we give a random Mac address.
So the command would be Mac changer
- R which stands for
random and the adapter which is wlan0.
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 ping
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 ether address
or 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 turn back
to our original address using the
command macchanger - P which transfer
permanent and the adapter name, which is
wlan0.
I hope you guys understood this. Thank you.
