I made “free” internet.
In Australia we have an ISP that provides a Huawei USB back up. You can find unlocking instruction online. Works anywhere in Australia. SIM can be used in a generic wifi hot spot. People throw them outa lot as they frequently get over ordered. Lostcin post etc. I have 3.
Bro, look, there’s an open wifi network here now. Signal kinda sucks out here. Imma try it.
…it’s loading a login screen
they want my employee number
close it and never think about using it again
Connect again in 3 months when you forget
Autofill with my fake profile info.
Name: Go.
firstname: Fuck.
Email: yourself@with-gravel.comCheck email for verification link.
But the trick with these is, in order to check email they need to connect you to the internet, even if just for a minute. If you just need the internet to sync the latest IMs and emails, that is good enough.
fuckoff@domainiown.win
I’ve never given a real email to these. I just bash the keys on my phones with random letters and decide whether it’s going to be gmail, aol, or yahoo that day…
Here’s a secret those free wifi providers don’t want you to know: usually, they don’t check your email or ask you to verify it, so you can just enter suckurmomsball@gmail.com If they do show a second screen asking for an email, just create a tempmail adress on cellular and switch back to verify. It works 99.99% of the time.
Edit: you also don’t have to enter any real personal information, how would they know?
I always use famous people, just in case someone is checking the data and assumes that Tom Cruise or Sydney Sweeney decided to stop in Cambridge for a quick bite to eat in Nandos before staying in the Travelodge.
Email: Admin@ThisMall.com Address: 123 Main St Phone: 555-555-5555 DoB: 01/01/2000 Gender: other (all) Income: $3.50
I always do 1970-01-01 to confuse the developers
Now that’s good, even better if you throw some error characters into your other info
Even kids know how to enter fake data.
You need to replace a lot of those words with profanity to get the message across.
Who goes to the mall?
Me, in the before times.
… and uses the wifi there.
I just clone someone else’s already active mac address, it works every time
This is a beautifully simple solution! I hadn’t thought of that but I’ll have to keep it in mind.
Do you think you’d have to move closer to another AP? I do think a duplicate a MAC address might would connectivity problems at least while connected to the same AP.
Bro, just one more piece of info bro. Come on bro, just one more piece of your personal info and I’ll let you sign on to the “free” wifi. Bro come on bro, just one more piece of personal info, it’s no big deal for some wifi bro.
Yes. They deserve nothing. LIE.
This is what I do.
Today I signed into some “free” wifi as Joe mama (Joe@mama.tech)
Smooth sailing for Joe after that.
I’m often admin@websiteimsigning.into with a name of admin admin, a birth date of 01/01/1970 a phone number of 4041234567 and address of 123 main street anytown, USA
And then if they expect me to retrieve info from said email or phone number I simply move on
The professionals try to insert some xss attacks into the forms; or all kinds of quote and comma characters in case the data is exported as csv at some point :)
You can save different identities using one password and then every time you sit down at your computer you can just make up new details for those identities in one password so that when you go to the mall, You’re not always Chungus McGrungledunk, but sometimes they’re going to be offering a free trial to, Faurtstick Blastschish or whatever name I give the email address I spin up for the purpose.
It’s good to register a burner domain that you don’t care about and once you have the processed enough different identities through it simply stop renewing it and sign up for new one.
Breathing isnt free in todays world
That’s when I use the oldest human invention: LYING.
Fake email, fake address, tell them I make more than the highest option they give for the income, make up the entirely unique gender of squorp, etc.
They don’t care. They’re just turning around and repeating your lies to whatever advertiser is so stupid as to believe their demographic sales pitch.
Hurt them by not using it. That’s the biggest number that feeds their machine.
There’s something to be said for poisoning the data. Intentionally, and consistently, enter slightly wrong information into every form you can. If it leaks, it all corroborates, but with other wrong information.
It’s definitely easier and more reliable to just pass tho.
I think if you lie and use a VPN there might be less data for them to profit from.
I’m pretty sure hitting someone with a rock pre-dates lying. Try that instead next time.
On some public networks, my Wireguard VPN just doesn’t work. Although I can connect to my server using SSH, so I assume the network was configured to block certain ports or how else can it block VPN connections?
Many networks block UDP ports, which is what wireguard uses. If you can configure the serverside part of the VPN, you could try running it on port 123, which is used for the network time protocol (ntp), which also uses UDP and is open nearly everywhere
Are you familiar with Tailscale? I think it reverts to tunneling over WireGuard over HTTPS in cases like this — I might be wrong, but I might block UDP on myself to test this out.
No, you’re right! They have the best name, DERP relays lol. When tailscale can’t find a node over UDP , it switches over to TCP and runs the encrypted traffic through the DERP relays.
having no idea what the fuck these letters mean I think this dude is correct
