MAC Changer, Looking for Resolution

[Ezekiel1986]

https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=3334

This is the link to the bug of the MAC Changer which when changing the MAC it doesn't stay to the MAC is was changed to but instead it reverts back to the permanent factory state MAC. I will look into this matter myself within this week but if a someone is able to find a resolution before I will that please post it here and post it in the Bug notes. Others see it that it is a version issue, which I believe it is a confliction with the kernal and version of MAC Changer. But the only latest known version of MAC changer is found here: https://github.com/alobbs/macchanger . But I will look into this myself but again if a resolution is to be found before I find one please post it.

Thank you.

Make sure that the reversion back to permanent factory state is not being caused by Network Manager(NM)

An easy way to prove if NM is the cause is to run:

airmon-ng check kill

This will end NM function thru service commands

Now try your mac changing routine and see if it stays in residence and doesnot revert. If it doesnot revert then NM may be the cause.

For more on this find the thread netmanmac in these forums


Furthermore if NM is not the cause try these alternative routines to change the mac address

ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
ifconfig wlan0 up
airmon-ng start wlan0

ifconfig wlan0mon down
iwconfig wlan0mon mode manage
ifconfig wlan0mon hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
sleep 2 # Only if in script, if done from command line not rqr
iwconfig wlan0mon mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0mon up

You have to spoof network-manager I found out. Try this:

leafpad /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/30-mac-random.conf

Add this to the file:

[device-mac-randomization]
# "yes" is already the default for scanning
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes

[connection-mac-randomization]
ethernet.cloned-mac-address=random
wifi.cloned-mac-address=random

Save and close the file and run:

chmod +x /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/30-mac-random.conf

REBOOT

Run:

journalctl -u NetworkManager | grep -w MAC

Should all be spoofed.
