About:
WiFiSpoof is a macOS utility that allows users to change their computer's MAC address with just a few clicks. It provides a simple interface to spoof your hardware address for enhanced privacy on public networks or to bypass MAC-based filtering. The tool can generate random MAC addresses or set custom ones, and it includes features to restore the original hardware address.

- One-click MAC address spoofing with random or custom address generation
- Automatic restoration of original hardware MAC address

Use Cases:
