Parrot Security 4.1
When I try to check my MAC address from the Applications menu by selecting
Anon Surf > check MAC
It launches and diappears in the blink of an eye.
When I run it from the command line, it sort of works; but doesn’t look nice. It also changes the MAC address, instead of just displaing it.
I was able to repair this by drilling down into //home/user/.local/share/applications and modifying the code in “check MAC.desktop.” I modified the code to read:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=/usr/bin/anonsurf mymac
Name=check MAC
Comment=Print the current MAC address
Icon=network-server
Categories=anonsurf;
I don’t know if this was the best solution; but it’s working correctly now.
You can always open a terminal and to write in it: sudo macchanger --show wlan0 (replace with the interface you want to know).
