And the previous lecture we learned what the MAC address is what it's used for and how to change it

to bypass blacklist whitelist and how to hide your identity by changing your MAC address.

We've seen how to do that using a tool called Mac changer.

And in this video I want to show you another way to change your MAC address in case you were on a system

that didn't have Mac changer installed on it or if my changer didn't work for you.

So the method that we're going to talk about now doesn't need any programs to be installed on the system.

You can use it with the native config command.

So first of all I'm going to list my interfaces.

I'm going to do if config and here's my wireless interface euro which I want to change the MAC address.

And this is it's current MAC address.

So the first step is going to be put in this interface down so disabling it like we did in the previous

video.

So I'm just going to do if config land zero down now the interface is disabled and I can play with its

properties.

So I'm going to try to change the MAC address by saying if config last zero so we're giving it the interface

that we want to modify its properties and we're going to tell it that we want to change the hardware.

And we want to change the value for the other properties so you can see that the MAC address is shown

up here under the other.

So we're going to tell it that we want to change the other and we want to set that to the MAC address

so you can in here you can put the MAC address that you want to use.

So I'm going to use something simple and I'm going to set it to 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5.

So the command is very simple.

We're doing ifconfig were on it which interface we want to change its properties and we want to do that

to line zero.

Then we told them that we want to change the hardware we want to change the other.

And the other property right here.

So we want to set this other to our new MAC address which is this one and we give it the MAC address

which is 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5.

You can use any mac address you want in here.

I'm going to keep it that I'm going to hit enter and because we didn't see any error messages that means

the command that executes properly.

So now the last step is to bring the interface up so we can use it and we'll do that using ifconfig

LAN zero of.

So it's the exact opposite of what we did at the start at the start we disabled the interface.

Right now we're going to enable it again and we're going to hit enter and the interface is ready to

use.

Now to make sure that the MAC address did change to the one that we specified I'm going to do if config

Lan's euro to display information about lines zero and if we look at the ether right here you can see

that MAC address was changed to 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5.

Now again this is exactly the same as what we did in the previous lecture.

But in the previous lecture we did it used in my changer sometimes dependent on your wireless cards

and depending on your current configuration.

Change changer might not work.

So knowing how to do it manually using the native commands is really handy.

It's also handy if you're on a system on an Android phone or on a different system and you just don't

have much change or installed.

You can just do with natively because if config is available on all Linux systems.
