I found that there are at least three methods to assign a spoofed MAC address to my network connection:
Method (1): Assign a MAC address to a connection using "Edit connection" GUI in WiFi (or Ethernet) tab inside "Cloned MAC address" edit box.
and Method (2): Assign a MAC address to wlan0 using ifconfig command:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo ifconfig wlan0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
Method (3): Using macchanger package.
Now, my question is: "is there any command line equivalent for method (1)"?
Best Answer
Since the first method is using Network Manager, and the Network Manager command-line interface (
nmcli
) doesn't support it, no.
