Companion to http://blog.airtightnetworks.com/ios8-mac-randomization-analyzed/ and http://blog.airtightnetworks.com/ios8-mac-randomgate/ Investigation into the workings of randomized MACs addresses. Discover how they work in iOS8 on iPhone 5 and 5s. iPhone 6 testing pending. At WWDC#14 (June 2014) Apple announced that the Wi-Fi scanning behavior of their devices would change starting with iOS8. They would start using randomized and locally administrated MAC addresses in the probing state. The touted rationale was that such an approach would hide the real MAC addresses of the device and make Wi-Fi device MAC based analytics difficult. Apple made iOS8 generally available as part of their September 2014 launch. Accordingly, it was time for me to take out the packet sniffing gear and dig into the workings of randomized MAC addresses. Read on to find out how they work. Blogs by Bhupinder Misra @b_misra
