Change Mac Shell Manual

Active2 years, 5 months ago

What is the correct OSX way of changing a users default shell? When I googled for it I found several references to an application called NetInfo Manager but I couldn't find it on my system. There were also references to a command line version called niutil which I didn't find either.

Now that you’ve found the Mac address on your Chromebook through whichever method most appeals to you, let’s move on to the next part. We’ll tell you how you can change the Mac address on your Chromebook device.

Changing the Mac address on Your Chromebook

To change the Mac address on your Chromebook, you’ll have to be in developer mode. Be aware that this also makes your Chromebook slightly less protected when doing so, as there is a layer of security that gets taken away. It will also wipe out anything on your Chromebook, so make sure you’ve backed everything up beforehand.

After you’ve logged into your Chromebook device in developer mode, you then need to get into the developer Crosh or Command Shell. You’re going to do that from the Chrome browser. Hold down the Ctrl + Alt + T keys on your keyboard. Mcculloch mini mac 25 service manual. This opens the command line in the Chrome browser.

  • sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
  • sudo ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 (or whatever you like as your fake Mac address)
  • sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

These commands shut down your internet connect for you to change your Mac address and then bring it back up once completed.

  • sudo ifconfig eth0 down
  • sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 (or whatever you like as your fake Mac address)

Using a VPN on Your Chromebook

You can also use a VPN (virtual private network) connection to spoof (fake) your internet’s IP (internet protocol) address. Doing so makes it appear like your connection to the web is coming from a different location, not where you’re actually connected.

  • Go to your Internet Connection Settings just like we did in the first way to find your Mac address.
  • Under Internet connection, you’re going to add a connection. So click on the plus button where it says Add Connection. Then, select OpenVPN/L2TP.

You’ll need the information from your VPN (virtual private network) provider to enter it in the next steps. If you already have one, just get the information necessary and proceed to set it up on your Chromebook. Otherwise, there are some free VPN providers or many popular paid VPN service providers available on the internet. Finding a good fit, comparing the various services, and delving into how different providers handle privacy deserves it’s own article, as it involves a bit more than can be delved into in a brief aside, but Private Internet Access is one we use.
