[ERROR] Could not change MAC: interface up or insufficient permissions: Device or resource busy

You must shut the interface down before attempting to change the address. Try: sudo ip link set INTEREFACE down Execute your macchanger command (sudo macchanger -r INTERFACE) And then bring it back up: sudo ip link set INTEREFACE up
