About:
SpoofMAC is a Python-based command-line utility that allows users to temporarily change their network interface's MAC address on macOS. It bypasses the built-in OS X restrictions that normally require manual deactivation and reactivation of network interfaces. The tool is particularly useful for bypassing network restrictions or enhancing privacy on public Wi-Fi networks.
Key Features:
  • Works without disabling network interfaces first
  • Supports random MAC generation or specific address assignment
  • Requires no permanent system modifications
  • Simple command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Bypassing MAC-based filtering on public WiFi networks
  • Enhancing privacy by randomizing hardware identifiers
  • Testing network security configurations
Alternatives:
  • ifconfig – Native macOS command requires manual interface down/up cycle
  • macchanger – Linux-focused tool, not natively supported on macOS
