Change Your Mac Address in Linux

# In order to change your MAC address just type the following:

$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down hw ether 0A:0B:0C:0D:AA:BB


Note: "0A:0B:0C:0D:AA:BB" is just an example, you should put there the disired MAC address

Note: bringing down the interface (sudo ifconfig eth0 down) and them changing the mac address (sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 0A:0B:0C:0D:AA:BB) did not work, instead i did all in one line as shown above


# Now bring the interface back up, and you are ready to go.

$ sudo ifconfig eth0 up
