Randomize your mac’s mac address (mac mac) lol
So here’s the command to take the first few lines of dev urandom, md5 it and then set your mac address equal to the random hex characters! don’t run this if you are using a mac address filter on a home router (obviously) but if you know that much, then you probably are smart enough to know not to change your mac address. But then again who am I to make assumptions about you? So why would you want to do this you might ask. Well if you’re like the 600 million people that download illegal torrents everyday, you might not want things being tracked back to you in any way. This way, your hardware address (mac address) is no longer your actual maker’s mac address, meaning it’s much more difficult to track you down if you’re using a public internet source.
ran=$(head /dev/urandom | md5); MAC=00:07:${ran:0:2}:${ran:3:2}:${ran:5:2}:${ran:7:2}; sudo ifconfig wlan0 down hw ether $MAC; sudo ifconfig wlan0 up; echo ifconfig wlan0:0
