I bought this app and the reason I stopped using it is that my router thinks each new MAC address is a new device and it keeps a list of devices even after they have disappeared. So after a while I have this super long list of MAC addresses stored in my router. I don't know what the maximum number is but to delete them I have to do it manually. This is probably not the fault of WiFi Spoof but it's still a nuisance.

Just a comment about why this program may be useful: The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier assigned by manufacturers to the network card in a computer. As opposed to an IP address, which is a software address, the MAC is a hardware address. Its format is two sets of three octets, with the first set identifying the manufacturer. The MAC address is included in network packets, so even if you change your IP address via VPN, your MAC address stays the same. It could potentially identify your computer despite attempts to mask its identity. For a good explanation, read https://whatismyipaddress.com/mac-address

You can do the same thing by opening a terminal and typing: openssl rand -hex 6 | sed 's/\(..\)/\1:/g; s/.$//' | xargs sudo ifconfig en1 ether You will be prompted for your PW and thats it.

Every version of v3 has a stupid, aggravating bug:

When I open it, the Randomize and Change Address buttons are greyed out. The only way to make them clickable is by bringing another window forward and then going back to the WFS window. For some reason that fixes it...until next time.

The Random Address menu also seems to be frivolous and unnecessary. I don’t know why anyone would need to use any of the hundreds of vendor brands listed. Perhaps there’s one guy out there who does, but for everyone else it’s useless.
And there’s no help file to explain why/when to change vendors.

If you have this set to randomize your MAC address at set intervals (30 minutes is default), you may lose your Internet connection occasionally when it switches. When this happens it takes 75 seconds on my system to reestablish the connection.

I just tested it several times - I had a good connection (all green in Network Diagnostics), and refreshed a webpage. Then I hit the Randomize button and all the lights turned red. Each time it took a minute and 15 seconds to reconnect.
Just happened again when it auto-randomized as I was writing this.

I make a lot of calls via Google, and have been disconnected several times. I have to remember to force quit WiFiSpoof in Activity Monitor before calling anyone.

If you are on ML or older, you are out of luck. For some reason all the old version links goes to the current release. So i go opensource, best solution: https://github.com/feross/SpoofMAC

Russell, sorry to hit you with this, on top of just leaving you a long post on Cookie 4.2, (and there's more, but not now). WiFiSpoof 2.1.1 is constantly asking for me to give it my password, not just once in awhile, but repeatedly, throughout the day. Is this a "settings" issue, normal, or am I going to have to deal with this as I have it change my MAC address every 90 minutes? Thanks in advance.. ;-) Annie

Not working on my Late-2006 2.16 GHz Core2Duo iMac 5,1 with 2 GB of RAM running OS 10.7.5 and Angry Birds Rio. When I click “Randomize" the address changes for a blink of an eye then changes back before you can say “donkey balls”. Nor does it heed the preference I have set to “Randomize address on Launch” — both addresses are always the same. Always. Same. By the way, I’m not really sure if this app ever worked on my iMac because I never opened the WiFiSpoof Window until now. When I said in previous posts that it worked great, that just meant that I could see the WiFiSpoof icon when it was on, and I couldn’t see it when it was off. I know what you’re thinking, “He's a dunderhead.” But I assure you, there is no dunder in my head. Probably dander, though (On it, not In it, silly). While I got you on the phone, let me ask you a question or two. When this app really works, does it really work? That is to say, is the WiFi MAC Address really the only means by which other computers on the network can identify my WiFi card, computer and fingertips? So every time I change the MAC Address — if WiFiSpoof COULD change the MAC Address — the network thinks mine is a totally different WiFi card, computer and fingertips? And if I have the firewall set to use Stealth Mode, can other people on the network see my computer name in the sidebar of a Finder window under the “SHARED” header? I can see them, but they can’t see me, is that the skinny? Or have I completely misunderstood Stealth Mode?

As with previous versions I tried, this seems to do absolutely nothing. Every time I select "Randomize MAC Address" from the menu icon or press the Randomize button, the address generated stays the same as the hardware address. OS X 10.7.5
