macchanger: View the current and permanent MAC addresses of a interface.
$ macchanger --show ${interface}
try on your machine

The command "macchanger --show" is used to display the current MAC address of the specified network interface on a system.

  • "macchanger" is the name of the command-line tool used for manipulating MAC addresses.
  • "--show" is an option or flag passed to the macchanger tool, which tells it to display the MAC address information.
  • "${interface}" is a placeholder for the name of the network interface whose MAC address you want to view. You need to replace "${interface}" with the actual name of the interface you want to check, such as "eth0" or "wlan0".

For example, if you want to see the current MAC address of the "eth0" interface, you would enter the command: "macchanger --show eth0".

The command will then display the current MAC address for the specified network interface.
