bash script alias

hello all,

just thought i would share something that my be useful to others.

Code:

---

nano .bashrc
alias mac="ifconfig wlan0 down; ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55; ifconfig wlan0 up"

---

restart terminal
with wifi disconnected
type

Code:

---

mac

---

and it will shutdown ifconfig, give you a different mac address and then bring it back up without having to type everything out

edit ~ here are some that I have created already and I am finding useful:
alias mac="ifconfig wlan0 down; ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55; ifconfig wlan0 up"
alias updatesys='apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'
alias reaverit='mac;airmon-ng start wlan0; ifconfig mon0 down; macchanger -m 00:11:22:33:44:55 mon0; ifconfig mon0 up; airodump-ng mon0'
alias reaverit2='echo reaver -i mon0 -c x -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -vv -a -S -N -E'

This is awesome!! So useful for all my airmon-ng and airodump-ng commands and macchanger commands!

careful with the macchanger commands... i have been reading that mac changer isn't as helpful as we think and it was recommended to use ifconfig wlan0 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx instead of macchanger -m xx:xx;xx:xx:xx:xx

but someone can chime in here and comment for clarification.
