How to change MAC address on Mac

Terminal is the powerfull tools for doing this. First we need to check your interface card of your network device, simply by run this command on terminal (in this case information for interface en0 ) :

ifconfig en0
And it will return information like this,
information interface en0 - omaimac.blogspot.com
information interface en0
You can see that my MAC address for interface en0 is b0:07:59:9f:71:4b
Now, I will change the MAC address for interface en0 with this one af:6a:1e:04:aa:43
Simply by run this command :

sudo ifconfig en0 ether af:6a:1e:04:aa:43
MAC address for interface en0 has been changed.

  3. If we don't have to use command prompt then it could be a challenge to change it manually for this we have to use software.
