Subject: [Tails-dev] MAC address 'spoofing' and randomization
I recently posted to github a script that adds some intelligence to mac
address randomization and spoofing.

    https://github.com/Boruch-Baum/mac_changer_choice


The script's main features above the 'macchanger' binary:

1] it won't ever assign a currently invalid vendor string
(ie. one not yet allocated by the 'registration authority',
the IEEE).

2] it can assign a vendor string based upon a scan or a grep within
a survey list. The script includes a sample survey of 48 consumer
items commonly available in the USA for retail sale in January 2014
(mostly laptops, some tablets and other).

For example, if one wants to 'spoof' a Macintosh, one would want
a random MAC address from only those very few vendor strings used by
Apple in its Macintosh product line, not those many strings
assigned to industrial and non-consumer products (even the Coca-Cola
company has its own mac address vendor string).

I'd welcome feedback and ideas. If this can be helpful to TAILS, that
would be great.
