Hi, just starting out here and have learned how to change MAC address and unable and disable monitor mode. I changed my MAC address to the suggested 00:11:22:33:44:55 and checked to see if the change had taken and it did. I then changed the interface to “Monitor Mode” and that took but when I checked my MAC address had returned to it’s original, assigned address. Have I done something wrong?

If I understood the process we change the MAC address to protect our identity before we start sniffing packets and hacking our neighbours WIFI (joking, of course).

Hope someone can clear up this confusion.

Thanks, Barton
