No internet after changing mac on Kali Linux

Question

I'm running Kali Linux on VirtualBox. I'm using bridged adapter, WNA with adapter type Intel Pro/1000 MT in the VBox network settings. My internet works flawlessly as long as my eth0 mac is the same as the one in the Network settings (option to change it is disabled, grayed out). Whenever I change my mac either by using macchanger or by turning off the network interface, changing it and turning the interface on, I lose the connection. After changing mac I'm also not able to ping the host and vice versa, 0 packets received. What should I do to make it work? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

-This happens it is perfectly normal because you are making changes "even if in a virtual device" of the same physical address, the connection drops ... if you want to make the change MAC and still have connection should make the change before connect, because unfortunately this is it.

Answer 2

Keep trying different mac addresses, currently connected to wifi with spoofed mac after several attempts. macchanger generated a mac address which didn't work and was 10.something.something.something
Grabbed a mac address from an old wireshark capture and it works great, getting me the usual 192.168.1.something on my wifi.
Some bits of the address represent features.

Answer 3

This solution worked for me even in a VM

Change /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

FROM managed=false

TO managed=true

Then create a script mac.sh In this script put

#!/bin/bash
service NetworkManager stop
ifconfig eth0 down
macchanger -r eth0
ifconfig eth0 up
service NetworkManager start

Don't forget to run chmod +x mac.sh Then just run ./mac.sh
