Changing MAC Address

ON Windows, Linux & MacOS

MacOS 1. Find the existing MAC Address for your WiFi adapter 2. Generate a random MAC Address 3. Assign the new MAC Address [code]ifconfig en0 | grep ether openssl rand -hex 6 | sed ‘s/\(..\)/\1:/g; s/.$//’ sudo ifconfig en0 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [/code]

Windows We use PowerShell for this. 1. Find the existing MAC Addresses I haven’t yet figured an easy way to generate a random MAC Address in PowerShell, so you need to have a MAC Address prior to this. 2. Assign the new MAC Address [code] Get-NetAdapter Set-NetAdapter -Name “WiFi” -MacAddress “de:be:ef:c0:fe” [/code] NOTE: The term “WiFi” is the name of my WiFi Adapter. Your computer might have a different name, which you can find when you type Get-NetAdapter command.

Linux coming soon…
