macchanger: Reset interface to its permanent hardware MAC.
$ macchanger --permanent ${interface}
try on your machine

The command "macchanger --permanent ${interface}" is used to change the MAC address of a network interface permanently.

Explanation:

  • "macchanger" is a command-line tool used to manipulate the MAC address of a network interface in Linux.
  • "--permanent" is an option provided by macchanger to change the interface's MAC address permanently. This means that the new MAC address will persist after a system reboot.
  • "${interface}" is a placeholder for the name of the network interface you want to change the MAC address for. This can be eth0, wlan0, enp0s3, etc. You need to replace "${interface}" with the actual interface name that you want to target.

When executed, this command will change the MAC address of the specified network interface permanently.
