Macchanger cuts off internet connection #46

Open MickoLjudinicko opened 7 years ago

MickoLjudinicko commented 7 years ago

Hi there, so I don't actually know, if it's my fault, due to the usage of VirtualBox with Kali Linux, or if it's some sort of bug, but here is my issue: When ever I want to change my Mac Adress in the terminal command line, the macchanger always cuts off my internet connection. I've tried so many different varieties, on how to solve this problem. I've, for example, stopped the network-manager service, turned down ifconfig eth0, tried it with the dhclient, nothing in this particular direction helped. I appreciate any help, cuz this slowly drives me crazy. Thank you :)

I've kind of did it. I don't know how. The only thing I did was to: Update Kali. [apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade -y]. After all was finished, I rebooted the system. Then I ran the following commands. ifconfig wlan0 down macchanger -r wlan0 ifconfig wlan0 up Hope this helps

This might help. Doesn't seem to be possible based on how VirtualBox is set up

Changing back to original MAC address worked for me.

  1. To find original MAC address type the following command.
ethtool -P <interface name>

Ex :

ethtool -P eth0
  1. Copy the permanent MAC address and change the MAC to permanent MAc address.
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether <Mac Address>
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
  1. Restart your PC and Router or Hotspot.

If someone find solution to access internet even after changing MAC please post it.

with a mac spoofer, you can connect to the internet when connected to ethernet or wifi when you have an external adapter. The adapter I use is Alfa AWUS1900, this adapter would be even more useful if u r into packet injection.
