CHANGE MAC ADDRESS IN BACKTRACK 4

1] For changing mac address to 11:12:43:44:75:56 (let say)

2] Just type -
    macchanger --mac 11:12:43:44:75:56 eth0



3] eth0 is the interface name.
    Use ifconfig command to check primary interface card.

4] get back the original mac address
    This spoof mac address is not permanent, original mac is restored after reboot.
    Without reboot, for getting back to original mac address-
   
    type-
    macchanger -s eth0
    (this will list the original mac address of eth0 interface)
    macchanger --mac originalmac eth0
    (it will set the original mac address)

  1. macchanger --m 11:12:43:44:75:56 eth0 - this is the right way to change MAC of your adapter

  3. I am "new" to Backtrack and i have some problems with changing my mac address for networking and checking my own network. Error say that Can't change MAC: interface up or not permission: Cannot assign requested address .

    Thanks

    1. Yes it is possible the same software that we use for network adapters can be used up for changing the MAC Address of usb modems.
