Please add support for MacOS Tahoe! (26)

I've been using your tool for a long time while on MacOS Sonoma to access the internet at school with my personal computer, and I would really love for it to work on Tahoe!

Since the command-line tool used by spoof, /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport has been deprecated in macOS Sonoma and removed in macOS Tahoe finally, you should use sudo ifconfig en0 ether <xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx> to spoof a MAC address on a Mac. First disconnect from any Wi-Fi connection, then run the command with sudo. It works fine on my MBP with Apple Silicon and SIP enabled.

Does SIP mean system integrity protection?

[barrettpace56]

If so, I'd assume I have that enabled by default...tried this method and resulted with an "ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Can't assign requested address"

[vincenttsang]

Yes. SIP means System Integrity Protection which is enabled by default. Maybe you can try to disconnect the Wi-Fi first. I got the same error `ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Can't assign requested address` when I tried to run the command without disconnecting the Wi-Fi.

No unfortunately, should I be using the CLI to turn wifi off or can I use the interface?

I've found a solution from @deathbychocolate https://github.com/feross/SpoofMAC/issues/124:

The workaround seems to be the following (gotten from a comment by @loekloekloek from this youtube video):

"Can't assign requested address" fix (on MacBook M4 chip):
First you have to erase the automatic recognition of the public network you were on. Keep WiFi enabled, and click "forget this network" of the WiFi network name.
Get interface (en0, en1, etc…) that WiFi runs on (opt + apple icon upper left -> system information -> network tab), like shown in video.
Enter in terminal: “sudo ifconfig en0 ether up”
Enter in terminal: “sudo ifconfig en0 ether”
Should show MAC address currently, copy that
Enter in terminal: “sudo ifconfig en0 ether < paste MAC address >”
Enter in terminal: “sudo ifconfig en0 ether < paste MAC address and slightly alter by one digit >”
Done.

Dude.....you're a freaking life-saver. I wonder if turning wifi off via terminal would've accomplished the same thing without the need of forgetting the network or turning off "auto-join".
