Kali Linux Tutorial - How To Change MAC Address On Kali Linux

How to Change MAC Address on Kali Linux.Changing MAC address or we also can call it MAC address spoofing will be useful in some cases, but we will talk about it later in conclusion at the end of this article. 

Step by step How to Change MAC Address on Kali Linux:

1. Open your terminal, and type
ifconfig | grep HWaddr
you will see your original MAC address, mine was 08:00:27:b2:4d:4b

2. To temporary change our MAC address, we need to turn off the network interface first by running this command
ifconfig eth0 down
3. After that we can configure the new MAC address
ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:02
you can change the MAC address using this hexadecimal format XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
4. Now we can turn on the network interface again.
ifconfig eth0 up
5. And the last we can check again our MAC whether it's change or not.

if we follow until this step, MAC address will back to default after we restart our machine. Go to next page to view how to change MAC address permanently.

6. Kali Linux was built based on Debian. In Debian all the network interface was located on /etc/network/interfaces.
7. We will configure the /etc/network/interfaces. In this tutorial I will use pico text editor, but you can choose any of your favourite text editor.
pico /etc/network/interfaces
8. Now we will add one line of script to change our MAC address permanently
pre-up ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:02
9. If we want to restore the default MAC address, just add the # sign in front of script in step 8.
#pre-up ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:02
Conclusion:
1. Changing MAC address usually needed for privacy and prevent tracking in the local network about our hardware information(e.g: in public wi-fi network).
2. Some network administrator they make blocking rule in proxy or router by adding the MAC address. To ensure interoperability and preventing being blocked by the proxy or router blacklist rule, we can change our MAC address.
Hope its useful

How to Install Open Office in Kali Linux

Open office is a wonderful alternate of MS office, the easiest way to install open office is by using terminal and command "apt-get install openoffice.org" but one of our user has discussed about the repositories problem in Kali Linux. We have also seen that the debain repositories is not working properly hence you cannot install packages by using the terminal. The solution is as follows:

Necessary changes are required for Apt Repositories, kindly follow the steps mentioned below:

root@ehacking:~# cd ..
root@ehacking:/# ls
bin   etc         lib         mnt   root  selinux  tmp  vmlinuz
boot  home        lost+found  opt   run   srv      usr
dev   initrd.img  media       proc  sbin  sys      var
root@ehacking:/# cd etc/apt
root@ehacking:/etc/apt# nano sources.list
 

Important: Do not delete the lines that are already present on the source file, just add the following repositories in this file:

deb [arch=i386,amd64,armel,armhf] http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free
deb [arch=i386,amd64,armel,armhf] http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main/debian-installer
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free 


Press CTRL O than enter and than CTRL X for exist, you are almost done. Next step is to update your Linux, on terminal type apt-get update

Now it is very easy to install software's by using terminal for Office type:

# apt-get install openoffice.org


How to Install Flash in Kali Linux


# apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Now your Kali is ready to install as many software's as you want.
