  How to Change/spoof IP Addresses in Linux

Changing/spoofing IP addresses can be fairly simple in Linux. Remember that in most cases, you're going to have a dynamically assigned address from a DHCP server. In some cases, you may need to reassign the address, especially if you're hacking. This can be useful in spoofing your IP address, making network forensics more challenging, but certainly not impossible. We can do this by using the ifconfig command with the interface we want to assign the IP to and the IP address we want. Such as: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.115 Now, when we type *ifconfig** , we can see that our IP address has changed to the new IP address. We can also change the netmask and broadcast address, if necessary, such as: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.115 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 That’s it! you are done.
