Hi,

Joe via Tails-dev (2025-06-15):
> I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an important consideration regarding the MAC spoofing feature in Tails. The existing MAC spoofing feature in Tails OS is a step in the right direction, as it checks for NIC existence and retries if necessary, treating the NIC as a unique identifier for WiFi cards. While the current implementation effectively changes the NIC part of the MAC address, it leaves the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) exposed, which can potentially compromise user anonymity.


Thanks!

Can you please make sure you're up-to-date with the current state of
your plans (https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/7038)
and check what your proposal brings on top of this?

Cheers,
