Overview

This program was developed as a replacement for GNU macchanger, because that one seems unmaintained, buggy and somewhat poorly written. The main differences are: macchanger-rust has less features and less bugs while trying to be CLI compatible where easily possible. In general macchanger-rust is a little bit more strict regarding ambigous usage patterns than GNU macchanger and provides (hopefully) better error messages.

Usage

For building you need a working rust nightly. After you obtained that, run:

cargo build --release

This will create the file target/release/macchanger.

To use it, run:

ip link set eth0 down
macchanger -r eth0
ip link set eth0 up

Project status

We have not yet finished implementing all the macchanger features. Currently only the following options are working:

--show
--ending
--random (optionally with --bia)

The options -a and -A will probably never be supported. See macchanger --help for more information.

Also reading out the permanent MAC address is currently not implemented. But will be soon.
