How to change the MAC address of pc? [duplicate]
I am currently using ubuntu 13.04 along With windows 7. But I want to change my MAC address of pc. Is there any way to change it.
Solution 1:
In a command line (terminal), run:
sudo ifconfig eth0 downsudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55sudo ifconfig eth0 up
That's sufficient for the current user's session. However, in order for the changes to persist, you must also edit /etc/network/interfaces and create or modify an entry for the interface. For example:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hwaddress ether 08:00:00:00:00:01

Solution 3:
In Ubuntu you can clone a Mac address in the network settings.
Click on the network icon in the top bar and select Edit connections. Select your current network and hit Edit. In the Ethernet tab you should see your actual device MAC and a field to enter the MAC you want to clone.
