macchanger

Macchanger is a command-line tool used for changing the Media Access Control (MAC) address of a network interface on a Linux system. It is primarily designed to be used for security purposes, allowing users to alter their MAC address and enhance their anonymity while connecting to networks. The tool supports various options, allowing users to change the MAC address randomly or set it to a specific value. Macchanger also provides a handy feature called "MAC Spoofing," which allows users to pretend to have a different MAC address, further enhancing their privacy. The tool works on wired and wireless interfaces and supports various network cards, making it versatile and useful in diverse network environments. Macchanger is widely used by penetration testers, network administrators, and individuals concerned about their privacy to protect against MAC-based tracking and to conduct various security-related tasks.
