Spoof is a simple Bash script that allows the user to easily change their computer’s existing MAC address to a randomly generated MAC address.
Among other uses for changing a computer's MAC address, spoof allows for easy circumnavigation of timeout-based internet services in airports, cafes, etc. With a new MAC address, the internet provider recognises the ‘spoofed’ computer as a new user thereby allowing it to immediately reconnect to the internet.
This script has been tested in numerous Starbucks coffee shops, Barcelona International Airport (BCN) and Dubai International Airport (DXB).
