| 08-fix_random_MAC_choice.patch | ensure random new MAC is not same as old MAC When requesting a random MAC with or without some specific prefix there is a small probability (1 / 2^24 for -e) that the new adress is the same as the old one. However unlikely, we don't want that. . If the requested mac is the same as the current mac; don't even try to change it. Print an error message instead. |

| check-random-device-read-errors.patch | Check for random device read errors In some cases it is possible to open /dev/hwrng but not to read from it. We need to check for errors and move on to the next possible random device in this case. |

| verify-changed-MAC.patch | actively verify if the MAC was changed macchanger tries to detect if the new MAC is the same as the old. However, it does this by calling mc_net_info_get_mac, on the same net_info structure that it's called mc_net_info_set_mac on. . So, mc_net_info_set_mac sets the mac *in the data structure*, then calls SIOCSIFHWADDR, which returns success even without doing anything if the kernel driver is buggy. And then mc_net_info_get_mac examines the data structure, without calling SIOCGIFHWADDR to check if the MAC was actually changed. . This patch actively verifies if the MAC was changed. |
