NetworkManager MAC spoofing

NetworkManager MAC spoofing
----------------------------------------------------------------------

* Basic nmcli commands

+ Show connections

  $ nmcli con show

+ Show network devices

  $ nmcli dev status

+ Bring-up interface

  $ nmcli con up <profile>

+ Bring-down interface

  $ nmcli con down <profile>

+ Show links

  $ ip link show


* Supported Modes

permanent: use the permanent MAC address of the device.
preserve:  don’t change the MAC address of the device upon activation.
random:    generate a randomized value upon each connect.
stable:    generate a stable, hashed MAC address.
unset:     this is the default value which allows

Examples:

+ Change cloned mode

  $ nmcli con modify <WiFi_profile> wifi.cloned-mac-address stable

  $ nmcli con modify <Wired_profile> 802-3-ethernet.cloned-mac-address random

+ Mask-setting to preserve OUI

  $ nmcli con modify <profile> \
    802-3-ethernet.genrate-mac-address-mask FF:FF:FF:00:00:00

+ Mask-setting creating a burned-in address. Several OUI can follow.

  $ nmcli con modify <profile> \
    802-3-ethernet.generate-mac-address-mask \
    FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 00:50:E4:00:00:00 00:50:E5:00:00:00
