ip
(Linux only)
lets you view + change network configuration
$ ip OBJECT COMMAND
(OBJECT: addr, link, neigh, etc. COMMAND: add, show, delete, etc.)
ip addr list
shows ip addresses of your devices. Look for something like this:
2: eth0:
link/ether 3c:97...
inet 192.168.170/24
ip route list
displays the route table.
default via 192.168.1.1
169.240.0.0/16 dev docker0
(192.168.1.1 is my router)
to see all route tables:
$ ip route list table all
change your MAC address
good for cafes with time limits (little devil face)
$ ip link set wlan0 down
$ ip link set eth0 address
3c:a9:f4:d1:00:32
$ ip link set wlan0 up
$ service network-manager
restart
(or whatever you use)
ip link
network devices! (like eth0)
ip neigh

what route will packets with $IP take?
