The MAC address randomization does not work. The reason is a combination issue of two errors and no implemented checks.

  • At first when you let the software create the monitor mode interface, it looks like it create the not recommended virtual interface named for example wlan0mon.
  • Then the tool tries to create random mac on the virtual interface but that is not possible on virtual interfaces to my knowledge.
  • At the end then the tool reports the hardware mac address as the new random mac address.

All those 3 things combined leaves you with a broken -mac option. If you do not know out of your memory your real hardware MAC address and just run the command once, you could think the reported random mac could really be the random one and this is completely wrong.
