Randomize and Spoof MAC Address on OS X and Linux

This little script allows you to randomize and spoof your MAC address on OS X and Linux. Simply run the script in the terminal ./spoof-mac-address and it will ask you which operating system you are on as well as show you what you random MAC address is.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "Are you on Mac? [y,n]"
read input
if [[ $input == "Y" || $input == "y" ]]; then
        ## Show active interfaces
        ifconfig | pcregrep -M -o '^[^\t:]+:([^\n]|\n\t)*status: active'

        ## Ask which interface to spoof
        echo "Which interface are you spoofing?"
        read interface
