Hope you find this post useful somehow, and beer in mind that I am not spending a lot time to make a fence post, the goal is just share some intel.
#MAC ADDRESS FOR A CHROMECAST MAC#
Note3: The script is a regular MAC address spoof, I you can use it for whatever you wish. Keep in mind that I am not responsible for it's misusage, specially to harm someone else. Note2: I have tested on chromecast, however it should work any device struggling with captive portal authentication. Note1: some hotspots drop the session every 24 hours, in this case you need repeat all steps every day. Now it's done, you can power on your device (chromecast) normally, connect it on the same wifi, that the captive portal won't bother you anymore.Once your are succesfully connection on internet, come back to script and confirm (pressing enter) MAC change revert process.Now that you have the same MAC of your device, connect to hotspot wifi and finish the authentication process.Press enter only one time and wait the script change your MAC. the script will as you to hit to confirm the MAC change.Than execute the script passing your as parameters your NIC followed by your device MAC.Discover which is your NIC ( network interface): if you don't know, google is your best friend.

download mine script and give it execution permission with the following command: wget || chmod +x tmp_mac_change.Please note: In order to use Chromecast, the device from which you stream to Chromecast will also need to be connected to the same wireless network as your Chromecast (currently this will only work on PC-Devices). Discover your device (chromecast) MAC address: On chromecast app, go to settings and then you'll find it on bottom. The MAC address is listed at the bottom of the setup app when going through initial setup.

Note: this script was tested only on MAC (OSX), I belied that will work on linux as well, up to you test and maybe let me know the outcome ) (for more information about captive portal, please refer: )īeing tired of could not get watch TV/films/shows on foreign countries due to languages gaps, I have developed a small script and published on my github ( ). Newer models do not list the MAC on the box or device.
#MAC ADDRESS FOR A CHROMECAST REGISTRATION#
The goal of this post is show how spoof chromecast device in order to clear the captive portal authentication. Important: You will need the MAC address of your Chromecast device to complete the registration process. However those ones who spend a lot of time on the road, specially in countries with unknown languages, will share this frustration and might enjoy this post.Īs per chromecast (and similar tools) design, they don't work on hotspot with captive portal authentication.

Regarding this, how do I find MAC address? The MAC address is listed at the bottom of the setup app when going through initial setup. (This can be changed in the Advanced Networking settings of the Google Wifi app.) Google does not associate Google Public DNS information with your GoogleAccount. One may also ask, does Google WIFI track your history? While Google Wifi doesn't track thewebsites you visit, your DNS provider can associate your web traffic with your public IP address.
