I can exceed your data quota indeed.

love it - great work. The simple solutions are often the best solutions.
Your script inspired me so I built an expanded version...

## SCRIPT INFO: macspoof.sh
#
#    Automatically generate and assign a new MAC address for the local system
#
#    Default execution (without optional parameters) will generate a new MAC
#    address and assign that new address to the system's local wireless card.
#    This will effectively change the local system's hardware identity.
#
## USAGE EXAMPLE:
#
#    ./macspoof.sh [OPTIONAL_PARAMETERS]
#
## OPTIONS:
#
#    -h|--help              Print this help text
#    -s|--silent            Avoid printing outputs to the terminal
#    -m|--mac               Output a ramdomly-generated MAC address
#    -i|--interface         Output the system's wireless interface
#    -a|--mac-interface     Output a randomly-generated MAC address
#                           and the system's wireless interface
