Address each network card whether it's Wi-Fi card or wild card it has a physical static address assigned
by the card manufacturer called the MAC address Media Access Control this MAC address is actually written
on your card and it's physical.
So it doesn't it never changes for your card for your specific card for example for your wife or a card.
It will never change.
It will always be the same.
The MAC address is used between devices to identify each other and to transfer packets and the right
direction.
This works by each packet has a source mark and a destination mag and it travels from the source smog
to the destination.
Now because the MAC address is static and it never changes it can be used to trace you back and to identify
your device.
Also since devices used MAC address to identify each other.
So for example you have some networks.
They are only allow certain marketplaces to connect to the network.
They use a whitelist or think they can use a blacklist and blacklist your MAC address so that you cannot
connect to that network.
So changing your MAC address can help either connect to the network by changing your MAC address to
one that's in a whitelist or it could let you bypass blacklists.
So as I said it's physical and static.
So the only way to change the MAC address is the changes in the.
So it's going to be changed for this session.
Once you research your device you have to change it again.
So to do this it's very simple we're going to use a tool called Match changer.
So let's see how we do that so first of all to get your wife I can name just type in either Blue config
and it will show all wireless cards you have.
So here it Yoshiro has no wireless extensions.
And same with L-O.
And we can see that last year is my wireless card.
So I'm just going to disable the wireless card so if config Landseer of down does to disable the wireless
card.
Now we're going to change the MAC address.
We're going to use a tool called Mac changer.
So always with these tools it's always a good idea to look at the help.
So if you just go on my changer help you will see all the options that we can use with this too.
So you can use help and version to show the version and help show to show your current Mac address.
So that it doesn't change the vendor bytes it doesn't change the manufacturer of the MAC address.
So in other words just try a random vendor.
Much of the same kind is just to set a random vendor here.
The capital P will reset to the original permanent MAC address so if you change your MAC address and
you want to use the old one you can use p or we'll just give you a random MAC address and we'll just
print the number and the result you can use.
And actually it'll help you pick your MAC address so you can if there is a white list and I'll show
you how you can see all connected devices.
So if your target network you can see is for example three devices connected and this network only allows
these three devices connect.
So you can just take one of those MAC addresses and change it and use it yourself and then try to connect
and it'll allow you to connect.
So that's how we change the MAC address.
We're going to use my changer again and I'm just going to use random to set up a random MAC address
and then we'll put the device name which is land zero.
So for example my kid my changer random Landseer up you can use the app to specify your MAC address
if you want.
So I'm going to hit enter and as you can see my original one was this and it's been changed to 9 8 8
4 0 9 5 s.a.a 3.
OK.
So now our wireless cards is ready and we've changed its MAC address.
Now we need to enable it again because we disable that by typing config last zero down.
So we'll do the opposite.
Will we do something like 0 up and that's it.
The card is enabled and its MAC address has been changed.
Let's just have a look on it.
If you type in ifconfig line 0.
Now we can see the new MAC address shown up in here.
