  • iproute2mac

    CLI wrapper for basic network utilites on Mac OS X inspired with iproute2 on Linux systems - ip command.

  • It looks like iproute2mac[0] will let you change your MAC address. It can even set a random one.

    Could you try if it works on your Apple device?

  • tiny-scripts

    Collection of small scripts

  • At least on macOS, the script can be made better with less code; no need for interaction or manually reconnecting: https://github.com/vitorgalvao/tiny-scripts/blob/master/macs...

    I’ve been using it for years without a hitch. Installable with `brew install vitorgalvao/tiny-scripts/macspoof`.

    MacOS only. Spoof an XFinity Hotspot to get unlimited free internet trials by rotating MAC address

  • remac

    Change your MAC address to limit your trackability

  • Hi, I took the liberty of putting your code and the remarks here in a pretty wrapper: https://github.com/pforret/remac

    In short: "remac -p ibm set" will set your MAC address to a new MAC adress with an "IBM Corp" prefix
