mrgray Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Do i really need to spoof my mac? Can the people i'm doing security testing on (Under contract) find me?Also can i connect to a VPN inside the pineapple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no42 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 This is how: ifconfig wlan0 down ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 ifconfig wlan0 up People can generally find you if they know what their doing. You could connect the pineapple to a vpn, just install the packages you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpoeticg Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 There's a few ways. I personally find ifconfig wlanX down macchanger -r wlanX ifconfig wlanX up easier. Also a third option is to change it directly under option macaddr in ur /etc/config/wireless. If u do that it's good to add an "option phy phyX" above it though.

Geoff0ne Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Does this change it permanently or just until next reboot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Does this change it permanently or just until next reboot? Just temporarily. A reboot will reset the MAC. If you want persistence you could add it to your /etc/rc.local file! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom564 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Just temporarily. A reboot will reset the MAC. If you want persistence you could add it to your /etc/rc.local file! I put this in my rc.local file ifconfig wlan0 down macchanger -r wlan0 ifconfig wlan0 up and it changes the mac address of the interface however i am no longer able to see the SSID or connect, i placed it bellow the comment that says do not touch anything above this line.

Put this instead: ifconfig wlan0 down macchanger -r wlan0 wifi That will not only bring up the wifi interface but also start hostapd again.

Best Regards, Sebkinne Sorry, just tried that and the log shows that the mac address is being changed but it then reverts to the default one.

tom564 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Ok it seems like hostapd is changing the mac address after it has been changed by macchanger. I tried putting a fake mac in /etc/config/wireless in place of the existing one however that did not work and the AP never went up. What do i need to modify to get this to work? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom564 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Anyone know of a potential fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
