I always give some bs emails in those authentication forms. Mainly because as a client who tries to connect, I do not have internet access, so I cannot verify my email before they give me the access. And when they gave me access, there is no power in the world to make me do that 🤷

    I used to spoof my MAC to connect to Xfinity Wifi hot spots. I would give them emails like "eet4dickComcrap@gmail.com"

    I found a script for bypassing captive portals on Linux back in the day...

    The full functionality of how it works escapes me at the moment, but essentially it searches the network for a host that possibly already connected through the captive portal and spoofs their MAC address.

    This isn't the one I originally found, but its the same principal and a Kali tool, so it may be considered more secure than the original bash script I copied back in the day:

    Android automatically spoofs your MAC for every network and regularly changes it for each one too unless you explicitly disable that after connecting.

    Makes static DHCP leases a PITA.
