Regarding TODO: macchanger #20

Open herr-gabriel opened 10 years ago

herr-gabriel commented 10 years ago

The tool already is loaded with a lot of optional dependencies. I'd suggest to use 

ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55

instead of the macchanger tool, as this is already built in to most linux distribution.

Probably a solid idea. I don't foresee any issues with this change.

For this to work, interface must be down before trying to change the MAC address: ifconfig wlan0 down ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 ifconfig wlan0 up

first MAC address byte must be even: 0X:11:22:33:44:55 where X = 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | A | C | E
