4 ways to hide your identity using linux
Being able to change your IP address and other network information is a useful skill because it will help you access other networks while appearing as a trusted device on those networks. For example, in a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, you can spoof your IP so that that the attack appears to come from another source, thus helping you evade IP capture during forensic analysis. This is a relatively simple task in Linux, and it’s done with the ifconfig command. Step 01 : Changing Your IP Address To change your IP address, enter ifconfig followed by the interface name. For example, to assign the IP address 192.168.226.111 to interface eth0, you would enter the following: #ifconfig eth0 192.168.181.115 When you do this correctly, Linux will simply return the command prompt and say nothing. When you again check your network connections with ifconfig, you should see that your IP address has changed to the new IP address you just assigned. Step 02 : Changing Your Network Mask and Broadcast Address You can also change your network mask (netmask) and broadcast address with the ifconfig command. For instance, if you want to assign that same eth0 interface with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and a broadcast address of 192.168.1.255, you would enter the following: #sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.226.112 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 Step 03 : Spoofing Your MAC Address You can also use...
