Among the multitude of novelties brought by iOS 8 there is also a function that will surely be very happy for many iDevice owners. According to a presentation held by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),in iOS 8 network scanning WiFi done through the Settings application will generate addresses MAC fake ones administered locally and visible to the routers for which the scan is done, all with the idea of maintaining our new anonymous identity.
iOS 8 it will randomly display a series of addresses MAC generated in our terminals during the scans and according to the Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, real addresses will be displayed randomly for certain scans. This new technology allows users to remain anonymous in front of the routers they scan and prevents them from being tracked by the activity monitoring systems of each router searched by our iDevices.
When connecting, iOS 8 will most likely display the real MAC address of our terminal, but probably in the future Apple will also mask this aspect.
