Goldwyn Rodrigues Free Internet access on paid Wifi networks
Institute/Affiliation SuSE, Novell
Abstract There are a lot of wireless paid networks available across the world, in hotels, airports, fast-food joints etc. The client can however associate with an AP without authorization, but Internet access is limited - all traffic is blocked and HTTP(S) is re-routed to a authenticating webserver. Most implementations have serious flaw, and Internet can be accessed without paying, using a simple ssh tunnel.
