#!/usr/bin/python
# mac_spoof.py - Randomizes wireless MAC Address
# Hacked together for your pleasure by a5an0
# So far it only works on Linux. Windows version (maybe) coming soon
import os, random
mac = "00" # MAC Addressed typically start with 00. Looks more legit
# This next part should be apparent. Fills in the mac with random hex
for i in range(5):
mac += ":%02x" % random.randrange(256)
changer = "sudo ifconfig eth1 hw ether " + mac
# Stops network services, assigns new mac, restarts networking
os.system("sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop") # You may need to change this.
os.system(changer)
os.system("sudo /etc/init.d/networking start")
[edit] Notes
- To run this at startup you can simply put this in startup, or simply run the script when necessary.
- If your disto's networking scripts are somewhere other than /etc/init.d, then you'll have to change the appropriate lines.
