[Ubuntu/BT5] Randomize MAC Address on start up. - zer0_s3c - 01-08-2013
1) load macchanger from the repositories
This is a simple, well documented, self-explanatory program that requires manual running - we want to automate it.
2) write a small script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# run macchanger at boot
sudo service network-manager stop
sudo macchanger -A eth1
sudo macchanger -A wlan1
sudo service network-manager start
exit 0Note the wlan / eth codes might need tweaking
3) Save this as macrotator in /etc/init.d/ and make it executable
4) Register the script by running:
Code:
sudo update-c.d macrotator defaults5) Reboot
::Confirmed on Ubuntu 12.10 & BackTrack 5 R3::

This 'tool' will make it change for you, each time you reboot.

If you use a shell script to load it, why not use that same shell script to pull data from /dev/random and pop it into the MAC?
