Yes, promiscuous mode can be enabled on a MAC programmatically using certain programming languages like Python or Objective-C. For example, in Python, the following code can be used to enable promiscuous mode:

import os
os.system("sudo ifconfig en0 promisc")

This code will execute the ifconfig command to enable promiscuous mode on the en0 interface, which is typically the wireless interface on a MacBook. However, note that enabling promiscuous mode requires administrative privileges, hence the use of the sudo command.
