: mactool.sh - linux mac changer
: frog June 04, 2012, 10:22:43 AM

I think this is an important tool to have so I made one for myself and for anybody else who might want to use it.

: (bash)

#!/bin/bash
##
### mactool.sh - set random/designated/original mac address
##  Note: run as root
#
export MAC
export OLDMAC
export RANDMAC
export NEWMAC=$3
export TMP='/tmp/stored.mactool'
export IFACE=$2
export BASE16=('a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e' 'f' 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)

usage() {
  echo """

              by frog on June 1st, 2012
    Usage:
             Set MAC: $0 -s <interface> <mac>
      Set Random MAC: $0 -r <interface>
    Set Original MAC: $0 -o <interface>

Nice tool. Have you heard of macchanger?

yea, and thank you for the compliment. I know there's better mac-changing programs out there written in c but I wanted one I could call my own. Mac-changing code is platform specific so I thought ' fuck it, lets make a bash script that does this using native linux commands.'

It doesn't fall very short when comparing features. The only features I would want to add would be the ability to set vendor-specific mac addresses and the ability to clone the mac of another interface.
