Problem

I would like my MAC addresses on my Mac OS X (iMac) and iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) to be randomized on boot. I have no idea how to generate the random MAC, nor to insert it into the boot process. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Fix for: How can I randomize my MAC address on boot on both iOS and Mac OS X?

Low Risk

You can't. The Ethernet and AirPort (Wi-Fi) drivers in Mac OS X don't reliably support changing your MAC address. I suspect the same is true of iOS, although I haven't tried it on a jailbroken iOS device. Was this about privacy, or something else?
