A MAC address is a physical way of addressing your network card at a hardware level.
How to find out your MAC address?
Open up a terminal and run
ifconfig wlan0 | grep HWaddr
Where I have
wlan0
you would put your networking device.My output:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 8c:a9:82:6c:9b:da
As you can see my MAC address is 8c:a9:82:6c:9b:da.How to change your MAC address temporarily?
Open up a terminal as root and run
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01
ifconfig wlan0 up
This will have changed your MAC address to 00:00:00:00:00:01.
To show this run
ifconfig wlan0 | grep HWaddr
This change will not survive a reboot.
