Python generates random MAC addresses

Generate a random MAC address using python code, which may be available for network programming in python, or directly generate a MAC using the RandMAC() function if you use the scapy module.

python

import random

Maclist = []

for i in range(1,7):

    RANDSTR = "".join(random.sample("0123456789abcdef",2))

    Maclist.append(RANDSTR)

RANDMAC = ":".join(Maclist)

print RANDMAC

-------------------------------- The results -----------------------------------

e4:13:0e:1a:73:f5

The following Fake_HW is a MAC address packaged with a struct in binary format

import random

import struct

mac_bin_list = []

mac_hex_list = []

for i in range(1,7):

    i = random.randint(0x00,0xff)

    mac_bin_list.append(i)

Fake_HW = struct.pack("BBBBBB",mac_bin_list[0], mac_bin_list[1], mac_bin_list[2], mac_bin_list[3], mac_bin_list[4], mac_bin_list[5])

for j in mac_bin_list:

    mac_hex_list.append(hex(j))

Hardware = ":".join(mac_hex_list).replace("0x","")

print Hardware
