nabs Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Ok here's my problem: There are a lot of wifi hotspots around that aren't pasword protected. So you can just connect to them and there's no need for a pasword. But to use them you need to log in on a website. This means that if I want to set up a "free wifi" and give my clients internet access I need to be able to let the pineapple log into the hotspot. Is that possible? I know clients could get on the internet if they would enter the log in with the splash screen themself and trafic would go through the pineapple but that's not what I want. I want people not to see the splash screen. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 This splash screen should only be seen once because the Pineapple is the only client the portal sees. After you log in once, all other clients connected should not be greeted by it anymore. Best regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabs Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Thx for the fast reply. I understand what you mean but this would only work if you stay with the same AP. For example. I configure my pineapple for the provider's hotspots. I can connect to it at home but when I go out and take the pineapple with me the pineapple will connect somewhere else to the same hotspot as the ssid is the same but as it is a fysical other AP it wouldn't have internet access. So it would require a manual intervention. On my smartphone I have an app that automaticly log's me in to the homespot when one is available. It enters my login and pass and I don't get the splashscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Yes, that's how it works... You'll need to manually intervene to get through the splash screen of any hotspot. Which brings up another interesting concept I like to call "HotSpot Piggyback". I'll do another post to explain the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanbase Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 thesugarat, if I recall correctly your solution entails mac address spoofing. Can you tell me the preferred method for mac spoofing on the pineapple? I vaguely recall in a prior posting that someone had offered one method, only to be told by sebkinne that perhaps their method wasn't the best. In any case, I remember neither method; though I know mac address spoofing is very basic, I would greatly appreciate a quick walk-through of the commands to be used.

thesugarat Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Actually what I was talking about does not need a spoofed MAC address. I believe most people use machanger on the pineapple. I know it can be random or you can specify the MAC you want. I don't have the commands in my head as I don't use it. So I'd try the search function.
