Title: Changing the MAC address
Post by: speedman on May 25, 2016, 10:10:20 am

In some cases you may want/need to spoof your MAC address. Reaver supports MAC spoofing with the --mac option, but you must ensure that you have spoofed your MAC correctly in order for it to work.

Changing the MAC address of the virtual monitor mode interface (typically named mon0) WILL NOT WORK. You must change the MAC address of your wireless card's physical interface. For example:

Code:
# ifconfig wlan0 down
# ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:BA:AD:BE:EF:69
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# airmon-ng start wlan0
# reaver -i mon0 -b 00:01:02:03:04:05 -vv --mac=00:BA:AD:BE:EF:69
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do we do it?

There is no need to change your mac when using the different tools, just FYI
