Hacking paid WiFi Services.


by The Uni-Hacker on Nov.12, 2008, under Security

Have you ever been in an airport or someplace where you can connect to a WiFi hotspot, but are required to pay for Internet access? These paid WiFi services usually base their subscriptions on the MAC address of the person paying for the service. To bypass this you need to find a MAC address that is subscribe and change your MAC address to their MAC address.

First you need to download Wireshark, a free WiFi and Ethernet sniffer tool. Using Wireshark you can sniff out active connections and get a list of active MAC addresses. After finding and writing a few MAC addresses down you need to download TMac, MAC address changing software. Use Tmac to change your MAC address and try surging the web. If the MAC address you are using has Internet service on that WiFi access point, you should be able to get right on with now issues.
