How To Change MAC Address On Kali Linux In Minutes

 A media access control address (MAC address) of a computer is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications at the data link layer of a network segment. MAC addresses are used as a network address for most IEEE 802 network technologies, including Ethernet and WiFi. Logically, MAC addresses are used in the media access control protocol sublayer of the OSI reference model.MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network interface controller (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, such as the card's read-only memory or some other firmware mechanism

1. Open your terminal, and type ifconfig | grep HWaddr

and you can see your original MAC address.

2. To change your MAC address, we need to turn off the network interface first by running this command

ifconfig eth0 down

3. After that we can configure the new MAC address 

ifconfig eth0 hw ether 80:f0:0a:74:5b:02.

4. Now we can turn on the network interface again.  

 ifconfig eth0 up

5. now you can check the changes by typing the first command.
