Wifispoof not working

delta

I have a macbook pro 15 running 10.10. Cannot get the software to change the mac address. It will randomize and try to change but sends a notification that it can't and to check my password. Password isn't the problem. Not sure if they changed something in 10.10 or if there is a setting. Please help!!!

ok,

it should be working
So your password is correct. try opening Preferences and put your password in the password field, and select "Automatically authenticate"
does that make any difference?

Mine is not working either. I have "Automatically authenticate" enabled. When i press "randomize" it seems to change, wifi briefly disconnects, then reconnects but when i go to system settings the wifi/mac address remains unchanged. I have tried using the WiFispoof app while disconnected and with wifi turned off to see if it would make a difference, but the app wont work at all until connected to a network. I have also used terminal to determine the spoofed address, however the original address remains. Do you have any suggestions?

Ok,
The MAC address displayed in system preferences is your Hardware address - and so it never changes. However WiFiSpoof changes the software address, making it completely reversible.

you can check if it really has been changed by tying this command into Terminal.app:
ifconfig en0 |grep ether

the software address is the MAC Address that is broadcast from your computer to external devices.
