Change mac address for root device

Features & Capabilities

Mac Address Ghost is a powerful Chrome extension designed to temporarily change the MAC address of your root device. This tool enables enhanced privacy and security by allowing users to spoof their device's MAC address, which reverts back automatically when you disconnect from Wi-Fi. You can save different MAC address profiles to your SD card for convenient switching.

The extension requires root access, BusyBox installation, and correct interface naming (such as wlan0 or eth0). You can verify your current MAC address by using commands like ip link show [interface_name]. Mac Address Ghost offers a seamless and user-friendly way to manage MAC address changes, ideal for users who need to maintain anonymity or manage network identities dynamically. Support the developer by purchasing the donate version if you like this tool.

User Reviews

Users repeatedly say Mac Address Ghost can work where other apps fail, sometimes enabling connection on open WiFi or after captive portal blocks, and it lets you save multiple MAC profiles. However, many reviews warn it is not reliable across devices or Android versions, often not changing the MAC as seen by the AP, and it mostly helps only on open networks rather than secured ones. The tool can be technical to use, requires manual steps, and changes may be temporary or blocked by networks. It’s helpful, but inconsistent and device-dependent.

Pros

Actually works on some devices and networks, with users calling it the only MAC changer that works for them.
Allows storing multiple MAC configurations for different networks.
Useful for bypassing certain network restrictions (e.g., open WiFi or captive portals) and reconnecting quickly.
Reported to help when hotel/open networks block or filter devices, enabling access more reliably in those scenarios.

Cons

Not reliable across devices or Android versions; many users report it doesn't work on their device.
Often fails to change the MAC as seen by the access point; the AP may still show the real MAC, reducing effectiveness.
Primarily usable on open/unsecured networks; fails on secured networks.
Requires technical steps and manual configuration (wlan0, reconnects, sometimes root/busybox), making it not very user-friendly.
MAC changes can be temporary and get blocked or revert quickly, so the effect is not persistent.

It works. I've tried so many apps but except this other apps are useless. I'm using Android 9 (go). I think most of us don’t know how to use this app, that's why too many negative review are given here.
