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
