This is a PHP class for MAC address manipulation on top of Unix, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems. it was primarily written to help with spoofing for wireless security audits.
- Verify you are executing it from the command line
- Verify you are running the script as an administrator
- Generate new random MAC addresses
- Validate MAC addresses
- Get the current system’s MAC address
- Set or “spoof” any MAC address you want
// require the class
require_once './src/BlakeGardner/MacAddress.php';
// import the class
use BlakeGardner\MacAddress;
// get the mac address of the eth0 interface
var_dump(MacAddress::getCurrentMacAddress('eth0'));
// generate a random mac address
var_dump(MacAddress::generateMacAddress());
// validate an MAC address
var_dump(MacAddress::validateMacAddress('00-B0-D0-86-BB-F7'));
// set a randomly generated MAC address on the eth0 interface
var_dump(MacAddress::setFakeMacAddress('eth0'));
// set a specific MAC address on the eth0 interface
var_dump(MacAddress::setFakeMacAddress('eth0', '00:E4:01:2C:79:DA'));
// get the mac address of the eth0 interface using the ifconfig path that we define
var_dump(MacAddress::getCurrentMacAddress('eth0', '/usr/local/sbin/ifconfig'));
