Spoof
Spoof is a simple Bash script that allows the user to easily change their computer’s existing MAC address to a randomly generated MAC address.
Purpose
Among other uses for changing a computer's MAC address, spoof allows for easy circumnavigation of timeout-based internet services in airports, cafes, etc. With a new MAC address, the internet provider recognises the ‘spoofed’ computer as a new user thereby allowing it to immediately reconnect to the internet.
This script has been tested in numerous Starbucks coffee shops, Barcelona International Airport (BCN) and Dubai International Airport (DXB).
Compatibility
- Mac OS X 10+
Installation
In ~./spoof/modules, run the following command:
chmod +x spoof.sh
./spoof.sh
Happy spoofing!
