mac-camo

Supported platforms⁰:

⁰Not all devices and routers will work with this script. Some devices won't let you change [part of] your MAC Address, some routers give Internet access by MAC, etc.

Dependencies:

superuser (sudo/su)

What is it?

mac-camo allows users to search for a MAC manufacturer and spoof their MAC Address as one of that manufacturer.

Why?

mac-camo is intended for anonymity¹ (or the exact opposite!²).

¹For example, I might be in a café where everyone is using Dell computers and I'm using a Mac. I could run the script, search for Dell, and spoof my MAC as a Dell computer so that anyone scanning the network would see my IP Address from Dell and not Apple.

²However, if I wanted to be the opposite of anonymous, I could do something like this:

I'm at a business where every device is Apple. I use this script and make it something really unexpected, like GoPro or even Raspberry Pi Foundation to startle, scare, or surprise scanners and security researchers.
