Re: [STDS-802-Privacy] Linux macchanger



This tools supports both spoofing and local (random) MAC addresses.

In developing guidelines for changing MAC addresses we should ensure that
we use local MAC local addresses.

Using local addresses may also enable better adaptation of existing
Œlocation services¹ to spot and handle randomized addresses differently.
