If you don't want your target to find out about your spoofing, make sure to delete the confirmation code from their phone before they can see it.
Enter it into WhatsApp on your phone when prompted, and you're all ready to go.
Access their phone one last time to get that verification code. This code will be sent to their phone number as part of the WhatsApp configuration process. To check that you've successfully changed your MAC address, enter "ip link show eth0." Step 7: Get the confirmation code from your target's phone. In the terminal emulator, enter "ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" and "ip link set eth0 broadcast XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX", where eth0 is the interface you identified and XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is your target's MAC address. Identify the one that has your MAC address - for this example, we'll use the eth0 interface. In the terminal, type "ip link show" to see a list of interfaces.
On Android, install BusyBox and the Terminal Emulator (apps available for free on Google Play). On an iPhone or other device, install a MAC spoofing app like MacDaddy X or WifiSpoof. This will allow your phone to pass as your target's, letting you convince WhatsApp that you are your target when you log in. Step 6: Change ("spoof") your phone's MAC address to that of your target. To check that you've successfully changed your MAC address, enter "ip link show eth0."
Step 5: Change ("spoof") your phone's MAC address to that of your target.
Make sure to save it somewhere secure, as you'll want to change your device back to that address once you're done. Find your MAC address using the instructions above.
