I want to spoof (temporarily change) a MAC/Physical address on a computer.
I know how to do this thanks to this forum:
Code: Select all
ifconfig ethX down
Code: Select all
ifconfig ethX hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
So because it's a shared computer and other users have no to little expertise with computing (and definitely not Linux), I want to write a script and put a nice button on the desktop that handles everything with a single click.
I think I can figure out how to use Rox to write a shell script to do the ifconfig thing, but what about the Network Setup part that I'm relying on buttons for? What is the script to tell the computer to try again to connect with the newly spoofed MAC address?
Thanks and if I'm using incorrect terminology, please correct me.
