![]() ![]() If random MAC addresses are not used, researchers have confirmed that it is possible to link a real identity to a particular wireless MAC address. Using wireless access points in SSID-hidden mode (network cloaking), a mobile wireless device may not only disclose its own MAC address when traveling, but even the MAC addresses associated to SSIDs the device has already connected to, if they are configured to send these as part of probe request packets. Alternative modes to prevent this include configuring access points to be either in beacon-broadcasting mode, or probe-response with SSID mode. In these modes, probe requests may be unnecessary, or sent in broadcast mode without disclosing the identity of previously-known networks.ġ. NOTE: usually en1 is Wifi, en0 is ethernet. If unsure, run ifconfig in the terminal and check which one is active. ( if you’re connected to WiFi, en0 which is ethernet will say “inactive” and viceversa )Ģ. Install Homebrew ( click on homebrew to learn how to install and use it ). In the terminal type brew install spoof-macĤ. Once installed type spoof-mac -help to learn how to use it.ĥ. To randomize your MAC address type sudo spoof-mac randomize en1 or sudo spoof-mac randomize wi-fi. ![]() You will know that it worked because you will be disconnected from wifi and will have to reconnect. Also you can run the command from the first step and confirm your MAC address changed. NOTE: if you’re running an older version of macOS ( or OS X, whetever you want to call it ) you might need to replace “wi-fi” with “airport”. so sudo spoof-mac randomize wi-fi becomes sudo spoof-mac randomize airportĦ. You can also set your MAC adress to something specific. ![]()
