WiFiFox
A menubar app for bypassing WiFi login pages.
WiFiFox is a menubar app for bypassing captive portals in wireless networks. It also includes a tiny network scanner. Works in OSX, Windows and Linux.
Please consider sponsoring this project if this is useful to you.
Installation
npm install -g wififox
sudo wififox
Usage
- Connect to any open network (WEP, WPA and WPA2 are not supported).
- Click "Bypass" in WiFiFox.
- Wait for WiFiFox to bypass the captive portal.
- Browse the web. You can just ignore any captive popups.
How it Works
WiFiFox uses MAC spoofing to bypass the portal. It automates the following steps:
- Discovers other connected clients and their MAC addresses through ping scan or passively.
- Clones/spoofs these MAC addresses in random order.
- Checks connection by attempting to reach a known public resource.
