It is free open-source.\n\n[➡️ How do I install this?](#installation)\n\nIf you star this project (by clicking on ✭ in the top-right corner), you help me to prioritize among my open-source projects.\n\n![Screenshot](https://cdn.rawgit.com/halo/LinkLiar/master/docs/screenshot_3.0.1b.svg)\n\n## Requirements\n\n* macOS Sierra (10.12) or later (see [releases](https://github.com/halo/LinkLiar/releases) for older versions).\n* Administrator privileges (you will be asked for your root password *once*).\n\n## Installation\n\nIf you have [Homebrew](https://brew.sh), just run `brew install --cask linkliar`.\n\nTo install it manually, follow [these instructions](http://halo.github.io/LinkLiar/installation.html) in the documentation.\n\n## Documentation\n\nWhat you're looking at right now is the technical documentation.\n\nThe end-user documentation is located at [halo.github.io/LinkLiar](http://halo.github.io/LinkLiar).\n\nThere is also a source-code documentation in progress, see `bin/docs` for inspiration.\n\n## Limitations/Caveats\n\n* When your Wi-Fi (aka Airport) is turned off, you cannot change its MAC address. You need to turn it on first.\n* If you change a MAC address while the interface is connected, you will briefly loose connection.\n* If you rapidly close and open your MacBook, the MAC address may change while the Wi-Fi connection remains and you loose the connection (that is, if you have configured LinkLiar to re-randomize the MAC address).\n* Whenever you successfully changed your MAC address, your `System Preferences` will still show you the original hardware MAC address.\n  This is normal behavior and your actual network traffic uses the *new*, *changed* MAC address.\n* 2018 MacBooks cannot change their MAC address, [because of a bug in macOS](https://github.com/feross/SpoofMAC/issues/87#issuecomment-485280175).\n* As of macOS 12.3 (Monterey), the MAC address of an interface cannot be modified while connected to a network. That's why LinkLiar will disassociate from any connected network before modifying the MAC address.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\nYou can create this logfile and whenever it exists, all  LinkLiar components will write to it:\n\n```bash\ntouch \"/Library/Application Support/LinkLiar/linkliar.log\"\n```\n\nDelete the log file again to silence logging.\n\nOnce LinkLiar is started and the menu is visible, you can hold the Option ⌥ key for advanced options. This is only intended for developers.\n\nIf you want a more colorful output, clone this git repository and run `bin/logs`.\nThat's what I use when I'm debugging.\nThis utility is also bundled in LinkLiar so you can run it with\n\n```bash\n# Run this in a Terminal for live debugging logs.\n/Applications/LinkLiar.app/Contents/Resources/logs\n```\n\n## Development\n\n![](./docs/modules_20211004c.svg)\n\n#### HelpBook\n\nTo update the HelpBook (end-user documentation), change the *source files* in [LinkLiarHelp/en.lproj](https://github.com/halo/LinkLiar/tree/master/LinkLiarHelp/en.lproj) and *then* generate the output with `bin/docs`.\n\n## Future work\n\n* Add badge with test coverage to README\n\n## Thanks\n\n* The icon in `Link/Images.xcassets` is from [Iconmonstr](http://iconmonstr.com).\n\n## License\n\nMIT 2012-2021 halo.
