Can someone please explain why this is needed? Is it supposed spoof your IP address on the Internet?
When I run it all it does is disconnect me from the Internet and I have to restart to get it back.
If it spoofs the IP address on the internet, I think that is great, if it works. If that what it is supposed to do?

It spoofs your MAC address, NOT your IP address, so that, for instance, if you've exceeded your download limit at the local internet cafe, (or at work) or you've been banned, you can get back online (as generally, ADMINS block MAC addresses, not IPs) And yes, of course it disconnects you from the net, as it's changed your MAC address and you therfore need to reconnect with your NEW MAC address to remain 'icognito'! :-)Tuesday, November 03 2009 @ 06:19 PM PST

Released under GPL. The scripts used to get and set the mac address, for both the Airport and Ethernet interfaces, were modified from one written by Fouad Sethna.
