does backtrack change mac addresses?

[remotex]

I know how to change mac addresses in windows. I'm noob when it comes to Linux as well as backtrack. How can I change my mac addresses in Linux?

If I change my mac addresses in Windows and boot up in Linux the mac address will return to it's original or stay spoofed?

Backtrack doesn't change mac addresses does it?


Thanks

That would be rather funny, if only windows could do it.

anyways "macchanger" in bash

Type

man iwconfig

Should you change your mac address before you go into backtrack? Or does it not make a difference since your're just sniffing packets and you're not actually logging into the network? If you're going to use Windows to login to the network, then you can change it from there?


Thanks

Hi Remotex,

To change mac adress on M$ Windows, go to :
configuration panel > system > material > peripheral manager
Find network card you want then,
Advance > network adress > set value with new mac adress
Check mac change with ipconfig /all

With BT, it's easier, (answer is in vvpalin post) open bash and type :
macchanger [option] device
for options consult help with
macchanger --help

Without changing mac from OS, it's took the native card mac adress, so mac has to be changed for each OS to be spoofed !!!!!

I think the OP wants to change the mac on boot.

To achieve that you have to change the network script.

Just do some research on editing startup scripts, it is a good lesson if you are new to Linux.

Scared of getting caught ?

Install MacChanger if not already done. Depending on your distro, type:

apt-get install macchanger

Sample usage:

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