How To Execute Macchanger On Startup?

[cyrilic]

I have BT3 Final installed on my hdd and would like macchanger to run automatcally. I think I need a script in /etc/rc.d/ but not sure if it would run before the wifi card is initialized. I suppose I'd have to have the following in the script.

airmon-ng stop ath0
ifconfig wifi0 down
macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi0
airmon-ng start wifi0

Can someone help?

Thanks!

There is no need for using airmon-ng unless you want monitor mode automatically at startup. I would add the script to /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 which is loaded by rc.M at startup:

#! /bin/sh
# /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
# This script is used to bring up the various network interfaces.

if [ "$1" = "start" -o "$1" = "" ]; then

   ifconfig lo down 2>/dev/null
   /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 2>/dev/null
   /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo 2>/dev/null

   ifconfig wifi0 down
   macchanger --mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi0

   for eth in `ls /sys/class/net | grep -v sit`; do
      # check if dhcpcd is not already running for $eth interface,
      # in that case it was started by hotplug? so don't start it again
      if [ "$eth" != "lo" -a ! -e /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-$eth.pid ]; then
         echo "Auto Configure IP address for $eth: /sbin/dhcpcd -t 60 $eth &"
         /sbin/dhcpcd -t 60 $eth &
      fi
   done
fi

I guess that would do the trick. Let me know if it worked.

That ast one is good. Remember to add in a section for other interfaces, such as rausb0 if you use the rt73 legacy driver.
