How MAC SPOOFING is done(Linux)

Under Linux, you can change your MAC address with

ifconfig 'interface' hw 'class' MAC

for eg.


ifconfig eth0 down // disable the interface
ifconfig eth0 hw ether 02:75:73:A3:B1:80 // change MAC
ifconfig eth0 up // Enable it again


please note that there are number of other classes besides 'ether'. Check the man page for ifconfig for more detail.
