Hye, /g/ -
is it at all possible within linux (i'm using elementary OS for whatever reason it's just pretty small when doing a LIVE OS configuration since my hdd is busted) to set a wireless NIC's MAC address to something from this database?
https://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/grpmac/public.html

for example 01-80-C2-00-00-00
And yea I know macchanger won't accept a hyphen format so you change it to 01:80:C2:00:00:00 ... because apparently theyre multicast addresses it returns an error but there must be some way to force it, no?

Yes

Yes.
sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 01:80:c2:00:00:00

I'm pretty familiar with ifconfig but I guess not well enough.. I'm trying it on a device named mon0 which is in iwconfig mode monitor of course..
ifconfig mon0 ether 01:80:c2:00:00:00
I get errors.. I did ifconfig mon0 down first as usually to change a MAC you must bring down the device.. hm

root@elementary:~# ifconfig mon0 down && macchanger -m 01:85:C2:00:00:00 mon0 && ifconfig mon0 up
Current MAC: c0:3f:0e:3a:7e:b8 (NETGEAR)
Permanent MAC: c0:3f:0e:3a:7e:b8 (NETGEAR)
[ERROR] Could not change MAC: interface up or insufficient permissions: Cannot assign requested address
root@elementary:~# Not even the one I want, but shows how it won't assign such a MAC to a wireless NIC at least via macchanger.. I've also tried one other command method and gotten the same message. So the restrictions are put there on purpose it seems.
