Network test-data utility

MAC Address Generator

Generate one to 100 cryptographically random unicast MAC addresses with local-bit and formatting controls.

Unicast bit is always enforced.

Random bytes come from Web Crypto. These are synthetic addresses and are not vendor-assigned OUIs.

About MAC Address Generator

Create synthetic addresses for labs, fixtures and test data using browser cryptographic randomness.

Input is processed locally in your browser and is not sent to Navorika.

How to use this tool

  1. 1Choose count, case and separator.
  2. 2Choose whether to set the locally administered bit.
  3. 3Generate addresses.
  4. 4Click one address or copy all.

Understanding the result

The least-significant bit of the first octet is cleared to enforce unicast.

Local mode sets the next bit to indicate local administration.

Important limitations

  • Generated addresses are not vendor-issued identities or proof of uniqueness across all systems.
  • Do not impersonate a real device on a network.
