Hostname spoof stopped working
eackone opened this issue · comments
I had the hostname spoof running adequately on Catalina with Intel chip. I noticed after a while that despite rebooting, my hostname would remain at a specific random name. I went through the procedure of removing the script/files and launch daemon. I've been trying to get everything to work since, but can't get my hostname (or mac address) for the life of me... It constantly remains the same. I'm fairly new to coding, any guidance would be appreciated.
Have you upgraded to Big Sur or are you still on Catalina?
Catalina 10.15.7
What happens when you paste /usr/local/sbin/spoof.sh in Terminal and hit enter?
Please be mindful of what you share on GitHub btw.
When I paste it the spoof works, however the name remains the same when rebooting. I have to paste it every time I reboot to change the name and MAC. Would my issue be with the launch daemon?
For what its worth, when I run ls -A1 {,~}/Library/LaunchAgents /Library/LaunchDaemons i do see the local.spoof.plist file in /Library/LaunchDaemons
Hey, @eackone, late follow up… guide has been updated to work on Big Sur and Monterey.
Did you ever upgrade you OS or solve your issue?
Hostname spoofing works on M2 MAC with Ventura
