MAC Address Generator
Generate a valid random or Apple-vendor MAC address instantly, right in your browser. No downloads, no sign-up, no tracking.
How it works
A MAC address is a 48-bit hardware identifier written as six pairs of hexadecimal digits (e.g. 3C:06:30:A4:F2:11). The first three pairs — the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) — identify the manufacturer. The last three pairs are the device-specific portion assigned by that manufacturer.
In Random mode, this tool generates an address with the locally-administered bit set (bit 1 of the first octet is 1, bit 0 is 0). This signals to the network that the address was software-assigned rather than burned into hardware — the technically correct way to spoof.
In Apple-Like mode, it picks a real Apple OUI prefix registered with the IEEE, making the address look indistinguishable from a genuine Apple device on the local network.
Random Mode
Sets the locally-administered bit. Safe, standard, and works on all macOS interfaces.
Apple-Like Mode
Uses real Apple IEEE OUI prefixes. Ideal on networks that filter traffic by vendor.
Format
Output uses AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF colon format — ready for ifconfig or MacSpoof.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to use a randomly generated MAC address?
Yes. MAC addresses are 48-bit values and any well-formed unicast address is valid. The locally-administered bit (set in Random mode) is the conventional way to mark software-assigned addresses so drivers and network equipment handle them correctly.
Why would I want an Apple-like MAC address?
Some captive portals or network policies allow or restrict traffic based on the vendor prefix. Using an Apple OUI ensures the network sees your device as a standard Apple Mac, which is less likely to trigger unusual behaviour or blocks.
How do I use this address on my Mac?
Copy the generated address and paste it into MacSpoof's custom address field, then click Spoof. Alternatively, run sudo ifconfig en0 ether <address> in Terminal (replace en0 with your interface name).
Will the generated address conflict with another device?
The probability is astronomically low — there are over 281 trillion possible MAC addresses. In Random mode the locally-administered bit further separates the space from globally assigned (burned-in) addresses.
Does the generator store or log the addresses it creates?
