SpoofMAC is a Python command-line tool that changes (spoofs) your computer's MAC address in one command, handling the Wi-Fi disassociation step that makes this tedious on macOS. It works on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and a Node.js port called 'spoof' is also available.

Use cases

  • change my mac address from the command line
  • spoof mac address on mac os x wifi
  • debug network issues by faking my mac address
  • get on a wifi network that whitelists a specific mac address
  • make my mac address persist across reboots
  • randomize mac address on windows or linux

When to choose

  • you need a simple one-command MAC address change on macOS, Windows, or Linux
  • you want to avoid manually disassociating the Airport Wi-Fi card before changing the address
  • you want a startup script so the spoofed MAC persists across reboots

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained tool with recent releases and active development
  • you need a GUI for changing network settings
  • you need per-connection automatic MAC randomization like modern OS built-in features
