How To Change MAC Address On Kali Linux?

Changing MAC address or we also can call it MAC address spoofing will be useful in in some cases.
The steps for changing MAC address are as follows:
1) Open your terminal and type:
             $ifconfig | grep HWaddr

    You will see original MAC address, mine was a0:48:1c:10:3a:eb
2) To temporary change our MAC address, we need to turn off the the network interface first by running this commend
             $ifconfig eth0 down
3) After that we configure the new MAC address
             $ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:02

 You can change the MAC address using this hexadecimal format XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
4) Now we can turn on the network interface again.
             $ifconfig eth0 up
5) And the last we can check again our MAC whether it's changed or not.
 If we follow util this step, MAC address will back to default after we restart our machine.

Go to next step to view how to change MAC address permanently.
6) Kali Linux was built based on Debian. In Debian all the network was located on /etc/network/interfaces.
7) We will configure the /etc/network/interfaces. I will use pico text editor, but you can choose any of your favourite text editor.
              $pico /etc/network/interfaces
8) Now we will add one line of script to change our MAC address permanently
              $pre-up ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:02
This script will be called on system startup.
9) If we want to restore the default MAC address, just add the # sign in front of script in step 8.
             #pre-up ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:02

Changing MAC address usually needed for privacy and prevent tracking in the local network about our hardware information(e.g: in public wi-fi network). - See more at: http://www.hacking-tutorial.com/tips-and-trick/how-to-change-mac-address-on-kali-linux/#sthash.Ugi4Y1ZZ.dpuf

Now we can turn on the network interface again.

Now we can turn on the network interface again.
