Python for Ethical Hacking
MAC Changer
4th Lesson
As we create a simple MAC Changer tool but it have some values that will be change for using that tool i.e., Internet Interface - eth0, wlan0, ... and the new MAC Address to change the current MAC.
It is not a good practice to come and change the Interface name and new MAC Address. For that we will use Variables
Variables
A Python variable is a reserved memory location to store values. In other words, a variable in a python program gives data to the computer for processing. Like Maths, it is a name that store information
To use variable for our program we use some variable names
First we will specify a variable for the internet interfaces, we can use x, y as a variable for this but it will make our program to become confusing when we check over after some days. To avoid that we use a variable name that related to our purpose for that we use a name "interface" for internet interfaces.
- interface = "eth0"
Next we use a variable to specify MAC Address that is "new_variable"
- new_mac = "00:11:22:33:44:01"
Now we created two variables to specify Internet interfaces & MAC Address. To check that the variables that return the value in it we use "print" statement
- print ("[+] Changing the MAC Address of " + interface + " to " + new_mac)
Make sure that the variable should not placed inside the double quotation mark. If it is inside the quotation mark it will not return the value of that variable, it is consider as a string. So it return the name as we mention i.e., If we place interface inside quotation mark it return interface not eth0.
In next post we will use variables inside the command that used for MAC Changer
