    Hi Sir, I have a problem with this code as I receive this: RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

    Can you let me know please what is wrong with my code?

    #!/usr/bin/env python
    
    import re
    import subprocess
    import optparse
    
    def get_args():
        parser = optparse.OptionParser()
        parser.add_option("-i", "--interface", dest="interface", help="Interface to change its MAC address")
        parser.add_option("-m", "--mac", dest="interface", help="New mac address")
        (options, arguments) = get_args()
        if not options.interface:
            parser.error("[-] Please specify an interface, use --help for more info.")
        elif not options.new_mac:
            parser.error("[-] Please specify a new mac, use --help for more info.")
        return options
    
    def change_mac(interface, new_mac):
        print("[+] Changing MAC address for " + interface + " to " + new_mac)
        subprocess.call(["ifconfig", interface, "down"])
        subprocess.call(["ifconfig", interface, "hw", "ether", new_mac])
        subprocess.call(["ifconfig", interface, "up"])
    
    def get_current_mac(interface):
        ifconfig_result = subprocess.check_output("ifconfig", interface)
        print(ifconfig_result)
        mac_address_search_result = re.search(r"\w\w:\w\w:\w\w:\w\w:\w\w:\w\w", str(ifconfig_result))
        if mac_address_search_result:
            return mac_address_search_result.group(0)
        else:
            print("[-] Could not read MAC address.")
    
    options = get_args()
    
    current_mac = get_current_mac(options.interface)
    print("Current MAC = " + str(current_mac))
    
    change_mac(options.interface, options.new_mac)
    
    current_mac = get_current_mac(options.interface)
    if current_mac == options.new_mac:
        print("[+] MAC address was successfully changed to " + current_mac)
    else:
        print("[-] MAC address did not get changed")

    Hi!

    Just upload them to some image hosting service or Gdrive and share the link here.

    Greetings!

    Hi!

    In the get_args function you have used interface as dest value for both options, correct this and try it again.

    Greetings!
