Just to be clear: whatever testing we had for the previous round of MAC spoof testing *should* still be valid w.r.t. testing "on diverse enough hardware". Since then only some logic about when to do things has changed, essentially, and the potential bugs introduced by this *should* be hardware independent. If anything it *should* have improved slightly since #6552 might have messed up the MAC spoofing previously, but that's fixed now. > The next nightly build from devel will have it: > > http://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_devel/ > > I assume the instructions for testing there are still up-to-date: > > https://tails.boum.org/news/spoof-mac/ More or less. Since `macchanger` apparently isn't a fool-proof way to get the real/"permanent" MAC address, the instructions in "Verify that the MAC spoofing setting is enforced" will fail for people with certain hardware. I suppose a new set of instructions would be to first determine their devices' real MAC addresses by using another OS or an old Tails, and then compare the MAC addresses reported in Tails to that. Also, the then known issue "No fail-safe for hotplugged devices after logging in" is fixed. And I guess that the "active probing vs. AdvGoalTracking" issue should have been mentioned in that section from the start but it wasn't. > Thanks in advance :) > > Also, anonym: how about posting something on Twitter about it? Thanks for posting it! > (... after having tested a build from devel, since I may very well > have messed up something while merging.) My own devel builds have worked as expected ever since your merge.
