Its compact release history runs from v0.1.0 to v0.2.1, with the later code updated for macOS Sonoma 14.4 and newer. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The official README presents Homebrew as the easiest installation route, giving the utility a standard package-manager path for macOS users while retaining a simple make-based source installation. ### Wie es verwendet wird Users run macchanger with elevated privileges and a network device. It can assign a random address, set a specific address, restore the permanent address, or display the current address. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren For macOS package users, this is a narrowly scoped native utility that exposes MAC-address changes through a familiar Unix-style command rather than a larger networking suite. ### Zeitleiste - 2016: The public repository and v0.1.0 release appear. - 2025: v0.2.1 is released after updates for modern macOS releases. ### Quellen - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. -
