How To Change Your MAC Address

This is just a quick and simple tutorial to show you how to change your MAC address, for what ever reason you may have, in Ubuntu.

So to change your MAC address, you need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces files:
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces


The file should look a little something like this:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp


And you will need to change it to something like:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hwaddress ether 01:02:03:0A:0B:0C


Ofcourse,you will need to change the MAC address to suit your network.
to make the changes take effect, reboot the networking service:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
