mac change doesn't persist #5

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

I tried changing the MAC of my wifi, which is en1, by using macchanger -r en1. The program tells me it's successful, but checking the MAC address of my wifi adapter in Network settings shows it still as the old MAC address. When I reboot, it goes back to the original MAC address. Is there a way to make the change persist?

I'm using OS X El Capitan 10.11 with homebrew. Thanks

you can't do it directly with macchanger, but you could use Automator to run the startup command.

Follow this guide and paste your command macchanger -r en1. Hope this helps

The MAC address on the wifi adapter will always show the real address. I'm using El Capitan and it's working great, if you want to be sure run ifconfig en1. Also as @mmathys to make the change persist you can run it as a startup command
