macchanger: Set interface to a random MAC.

macchanger

$ macchanger --random ${interface}

try on your machine

This command is used to change the MAC (Media Access Control) address of a network interface on a Mac device.

The "macchanger" utility is responsible for modifying the MAC address, and the "--random" option is used to generate a random MAC address for the specified network interface.

The "${interface}" placeholder is used to represent the name of the network interface on which you want to change the MAC address. For example, if you want to change the MAC address of the "eth0" interface, you would replace "${interface}" with "eth0" in the command.

Overall, this command randomly generates a new MAC address and assigns it to the specified network interface, helping to enhance privacy and security or potentially bypass network restrictions that are based on MAC addresses.
