I'm trying to spoof my mac address with macchanger on public wifi. However, when I do so the router seems to refuse connections. What do you think /g/? I'm using the -r argument which generates a random address. Maybe there is a filter that only lets addresses from known manufacts. through?
Bumping for interest.
Manually change your MAC to something similar. Change only the last few digits.
Depending on where you are if they have a nice enough WLC managing the APs it may block unknown NIC vendors.

No dice. I changed from XX:XX:XX:XX:e0 to XX:XX:XX:XX:b9 and it still refused connection.
Maybe it logs mac at portal login and assigns ip then if mac != IP refuse connection? This is pretty fun, actually. Come on anons!

I think that's it. Can you log out of the portal and try?

Disconnect, change Mac to something new, purge dhcp, purge cookies, reconnect

First three bytes XX:XX:XX give you a vendor - see

If there's a web portal, this
