I would like to setup MAC spoofing in Fedora, similar do what Tails does to their Debian. Any idea how? Thanks

  • This is distribution-independent. Most modern network cards can be configured to change their MAC address. – vonbrand Feb 04 '16 at 19:58

You can use the ip tool to spoof your MAC address. Here is an example for eth0:

ip link set dev eth0 down
ip link set dev eth0 address 01:01:01:01:01:01
ip link set dev eth0 up

For a permanent change, nmcli can be used it change it in Network Manager. That way, your change would be permanent.

nmcli connection down eth0
nmcli connection modify eth0 802-3-ethernet.cloned-mac-address 01:01:01:01:01:01
nmcli connection up eth0

It can be used for wifi as well, also per connection! Just note for wifi is different connection type, 802-11-wireless.cloned-mac-address would be correct variable. If supported, it is always value of connection.type followed by cloned-mac-address.
