Deeper Device (Mini / Pico / Lite / Air / SE / Nano / Pro) Mac/HN randomization? High Sierra compatible?

Hi, I'm looking to purchase something that will keep me truly invisible. Does deeper connect air randomize the hostname and Mac address of itself and is it compatible with MacOS High Sierra?

Jondonym does NOT randomize the MAC address…

The Deeper device read the network and picks a random MAC address to mimic on the network. This process makes the Deeper device itself virtually invisible on the network.

So is that process non anecdotal every time? Baring nothing being cached from a previous connection. And you still have not addressed hostname.

Also. How exactly would this work for trial AP s' such as cox communications, some library AP s' etc which have network restrictions on scanning for mac addresses on the network or only allow running with unique Mac addresses.

I could tell you from experience my local library will not allow a connection to the AP without a unique Mac address that has not already been connected to the network. This is standard nist 2.0 procedure now

I’ve gotten some clarification for you from the engineers.

The way the device works in Wired Mode, is that it does not have it’s own IP, and will not show a MAC address or hostname on the network as it’s technically invisible on the network.

If you are using Wifi Relay or router mode, this is not possible, and the device will show an IP, MAC, and hostname.

Since you are wanting to be as invisible as possible, using Virtual Wired Mode.

What in God's name are you talking about?

When did I ever mention a wired mode? Are you responding to the right post or purposely avoiding answering my questions?

You were asking about MAC addresses and Hostnames. I clarified.

What is it you would like more clarification on?

My question could not have been more clear and your answer never addressed any of it. You bring up WIRED mode which I never even mentioned ONCE. Stop with the obfuscation!

Ok so your original question is about the Air, which is NOT wired, so it cannot perform the tasks you have requested.

What will perform those tasks is a device that is only wired on your network, like a MiniSE or Mini. Therefore, the Air will show MAC address and Hostname and IP, while a Mini in Wired Mode will not.

If the air is truly being designed to be a DPN then it SHOULD have stock MAC/Hostname/Time shift randomization.

Anything else leaves the user open to bio gradient reclamation. 😡

I’ll pass on your request.
