Macchanger Question

[Rodio]

Hi,

I use macchanger command;

#ifconfig wlan0 down

#macchanger -- mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan0

#airmon-ng start wlan0

I get my virtual interface mon0 up. When I do "ifconfig", I see that wlan0's MAC address is changed to 00:11:22:33:44:55 but mon0's MAC address is still the hardware original address. Is this behaviour normal or should mon0's mac address change automatically as well?

Thank you,

macchanger -r mon0

Technically it's a different interface.

Thank you,

i do like this

ifconfig wlan3 down

macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan3

ifconfig wlan3 up

airmon-ng start wlan3

ifconfig mon1 down

macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 mon1

ifconfig mon1 up

But i never use 00:11:22:33:44:55 because everyone use that :D, i have my own :D

If everyone uses it, it may help create some security through obscurity when they look for who to blame...just saying...

[Mr-Protocol]

If you use macchanger -r mon0 it will generate a random mac...

You could just use ifconfig to change the Mac address and forget about Mac changer.
