Random MAC Generation #3

Closed orangewarp closed 11 years ago

orangewarp commented 11 years ago

Added random MAC address generation. To use, just exclude a manual MAC address

sudo python SpoofMAC.py en0

sudo python SpoofMAC.py en1

etc. etc.

Simplifies the process. Probably what most people want anyway! :-)

This is awesome. Thank you!

This seems to have been stolen from http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Virtualization/sect-Virtualization-Tips_and_tricks-Generating_a_new_unique_MAC_address.html. Red Hat's licence requires attribution, no?

Good call! I found the random script off a blog / tutorial that seemed free use, no license.

If the source requires attribution we definitely should include it. No stealing intended.

Apologies if this caused problems.

I think adding this line at the beginning of the program - to attribute the random function would suffice according to the open pub license.

@TkTech , not to bother you but any advice on the proper way to cite this - or opinion on whether this code should or shouldn't be included? While the Centos.org site seems to suggest the tutorial and code for random mac generation is opencontent - I couldn't find that license declaration on the RedHat site itself.

Not trying to shirk my responsibility as the submitter... but it would be nice to get the advice of someone with more experience with open source publishing and responsibilities. I'm still learning. Thanks in advance for your patience.
