Does Puppy have a spoofing of hardware address for WiFi?

[stemsee]

Thanks perdido

That's a very comprehensive test out!

Here is the slight update ... not widely tested though. But the problems were probably because of not removing the directory in /tmp

Thanks stemsee I will give it a test run and report back sometime this weekend.
To be honest I don't really have a good reason to worry about my mac but I like the idea of obfuscation. Anything to muddy up the waters a bit

Hi stemsee,
Your latest RandomMac.sfs is working in both puppy precise 5.7.1 and upupbb32 19.03
Will probably work on many other puppy versions too

I installed the .SFS and launched from Menu-->Network-->MacSpoofing in both precise and bionic

If you want it to launch at bootup put a copy of the RandomMac.sh script in /root/Startup/

Since this utility changes mac address a reconnect is required after mac address changes.
Simple Network Setup (SNS) seems to handle the mac change better than frisbee, it automatically disconnects and reconnects with no input from user.
Frisbee has required a manual reconnect even though set to autoconnect.
There is room for more testing with the different network managers in puppy if anyone cares to report.

My connection is through a wireless access point using the cell phone
You can verify mac changes by running ifconfig from console.
My wireless printer still works normally after mac changes.

Thank you stemsee!

You're welcome

Here is a more compact and useable version using yad --paned. This does away with the first interface selection dialog, which is now in the main gui and is dynamic, just select to operate on selected interface. Also the display fields are one line deep and are read only.

Hi stemsee, thanks for the new version to test.

On upupbb32 it works as intended. Yad_0.40.0 is included in peebee's .iso
It was a little confusing when I saw the new way of choosing the interface, I was expecting the choice to show up in the Selected Interface window after mouse clicking. It did show up after I mouse clicked New Mac

On precise5.7.1 I have yad_0.33.0 installed (I had to add that for dogradio) and the new way of choosing the interface does not work. I attached a pic of what happens. I suspect it is just the older Yad version since it worked with the previous sfs you shared where we manually type in the interface.

One other minor thing, desktop file in the new sfs somehow got replaced with the desktop from MakeSaveSwapfile

Hi perdido

Thanks for your persistence. I only tested on fatdog.

I made a very important discovery concerning yad, when trying to get this to work as you would expect ... that is select interface and see it reflected in the appropriate field immediately (now working). Also now has double-click interface to function (change mac etc). I could remove all the buttons and acheive same functionality.

This script has specifier quoted ... "%s".

Corrected the .desktop file.

What I have discovered will improve what coders can accomplish with a yad gui (probably already known by some ... ).

cheers

Hi stemsee,
I am getting different output with 32-bit puppy tests than your 64-bit in the window when program first starts & when making choices.
Testing in both bionic32 19.03 & precise 5.7.1
I have now updated precise 5.7.1 to Yad_0.4.0 which makes it the same as in bionic32, Yad_0.40.0 is working the same and gives me the same results in both precise & bionic 32-bit versions.

I have not tested the program in any 64-bit puppy as I don't have one of those installed.

The following pics are in sequence during one run of the program. This is in bionic32 19.03 using the preinstalled Yad_0.40.0

[stemsee]

Thanks perdido


I think I sorted out the problem this time.

I was sending an echo -e '\f' to blank the fields but it was doing that and adding a new line, so the fields got pushed round. Now i just echo "" 3 times, and hopefully has solved the issue.

Hi stemsee,

Tested on 32-bit bionic & precise.
The pics are from precise 5.7.1 this time. Yad_0.40.0
One thing that changed is the newly renamed "Saved Mac" button is not doing anything now.
Easier to just post pics for comparison purposes to last batch.

So from your post I see that something does not behave the same on bionic/precise as it does on fatdog ... . I use yad version 42.

I will have to download bionic to test....when I have time.

This is the script I'm using right now.

Hi stemsee,
I will try and find a 32-bit yad 42 to upgrade with, might make a difference.

I satrted with yad 33 in precise and that worked when manually choosing interface but failed when the mouse-click method was implemented. Upgrading to yad 40 fixed that so maybe upgrading again could be the solution.

Will report back on this if I test with yad 42.

Thanks for building this utility!

The problem is the ifconfig behaves differently.
