On: Change your MAC address with a shell script (2019)

[pvtmert]

Instead of setting some random address in public networks, use someone else's address.

Many public networks in Turkey require registering with TCKN (national id number) due to some "laws".

I don't want some random guy to log my activity and tie it to me direcly.

In macOS tcpdump command has ability to "monitor mode" wifi card.

    sudo tcpdump -Ie

> -e: shows mac addresses > -I: monitor mode (capital i)

Then I use someone who's idle but has legimitate connection.

Please note that those networks are not encrypted/secured at all. So anyone within range (or with large antenna) can essentially capture or inject something...
