Doesn’t macOS itself run through new MAC addresses every x amount of time?

I’m forgot the time. Maybe not time but for every nee WiFi connection. 🤔

It changes Mac address on iOS for every wifi connection. However it is not possible or at least I am not aware of how to spoof MAC address on MacOS. It was possible in Big Sur, capitan, monterey but it does not work in Ventura. And I tried it all in terminal with brew. Have no clue… 🤷🏼‍♂️

I asked chatGPT and got this suggestion:

sudo ifconfig en0 ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Note: Replace "en0" with the name of your WiFi interface. You can find the name by typing "ifconfig" in the Terminal window and looking for the name next to "en" or "en0".

Replace "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" with the MAC address you want to use. You can generate a random MAC address or use a specific one.

Press Enter and type your password when prompted.

Verify that the new MAC address has been applied by typing "ifconfig" in the Terminal window and looking for the new MAC address under the "ether" field.
