   I'm going to make a small program that spoofs my NIC mac address, connects to a wifi hotspot, creates an account using GET/POST requests, and repeats every 55 minutes.
   
   This program will also need to keep track of the MAC addresses it uses so that it can reuse them after 32 days.
   
   I want to use either a bash script, python script, or C executable. Which would be the best choice for this task?

   C http libs are usually a bit cumbersome. Not sure what the process of spoofing your NIC's MAC addr is, I assume there's some vendor interface to the driver or something, if that's it and invoking some binary is how its done then bash and curl with some kind of flat file storage seems like a pretty natural choice

   The mac spoofing, I believe can be done with a few system commands. This is all for a rPi.

   Bash would seem the easiest option. After that Python for sure.
