2. Use macchanger to Change Your Linux MAC Address
a. change the MAC address of a network interface with flexible options
b. set a specific MAC address or use a random MAC address
c. get a new MAC address that uses the same three OUI bytes as your hardware, so that the network interface manufacturer stays the same
d. Installing macchanger on Ubuntu
e. Install macchanger on Fedora
f. Install macchanger on Manjaro
3. Using macchanger to Temporarily Change a MAC Address
a. generates a completely random MAC address
b. pass the name of the network interface we want to set the MAC address on
c. specify a MAC address
4. How to Permanently Change a MAC Address
a. How to use a systemd unit file
b. give your laptop new MAC addresses
c. How to change MAC address but the three OUI bytes remain the same
d. How To create our unit file
e. How to see what our current MAC addresses are
f. How to report on the MAC address settings
g. How to show the currently active, spoofed, MAC addresses on our network interfaces, and their original MAC addresses
h. How to make the first three bytes of the spoofed addresses are the same as the first three bytes of the original MAC addresses
5. Permanently Changing a MAC Address with GNOME
a. set a new MAC address
b. How to select the genuine MAC address
c. Preserve: Keep the MAC address at boot-time. Don’t change from the set MAC address
d. Permanent: Use the genuine hardware MAC address
e. Random: Generate a random MAC address
f. Stable: Generate a stable, hashed MAC address. Every time the connection activates, the same fake MAC address is used. This can be useful in cases where you want to hide your hardware MAC address, but you need to get the same IP address from a DHCP router
