UPDATE:

I now rewrote the script a little bit to use a private MAC-area because of problems when generating some MAC-addresses. Please use this version if you want to use it …

hi guys,
yesterday I told you how to change your MAC address. Because I’m unbelievably lazy I decided to write a little helper-script to do this automatically. This script generates a random MAC address and brings the interface up with it.
here it is: change-mac
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; # name: change-mac # author: ap0calypse (ap0calypse@agitatio.org) # purpose: helper script for bringing an interface down # and up again with a random MAC-address # date: 2009-04-15 # replace this with your wlan-interface my $interface = "wlan0"; my @val_mac = (0 .. 9, "A" .. "F"); my $rand_mac = "AC:DE:48:"; for (1 .. 6) { $rand_mac .= $val_mac[rand(@val_mac)]; if ( ($_ % 2 == 0) && $_ != 6) { $rand_mac .= ":"; } } system("ifconfig $interface down"); system("ifconfig $interface hw ether $rand_mac"); system("ifconfig $interface up");

wow, nice work, but something is missing for me! i need to reconnect to the AP automatically and to renew the IP
and last but not least, resign to the web-authentication (curl)
then, but it into to a cron (29 minutes) and you get free internet access
o-o-o i got a sudden inspiration -> an ipcop firewall with an external radio relay antenna should have this
cheers, chaos
of course you need to, I didn’t say that it’s finished with this. this is just a helper-script for changing the MAC. Nothing more, nothing less
My other post was previous to this. I guess I scrolled too fast.
srsly though. check out macchanger. Neato blog.
