Re: Captive Portal bypassing

There was a tool that would do exactly that, on a long-defunct TOR
hidden service, and it was mentioned in this paper for bypassing
captive portals at airports. The technique, and naturally the tool,
was applicable in most situations involving payment portals.

Unfortunately I don't remember anything about it, except that there
was no win32 port, except a lot of complaining of that fact (replete
with suggestions to use winPCap) and that the tool itself started with
the letter 'p.' It was exactly what you want and worked on unixes /
macosx. Happy googling!

Some googled links for the lazy lurkers...

Which in turn mentions Kaminksy's (yay Kaminsky!) OzyManDNS via

http://www.doxpara.com/ozymandns_src_0.1.tgz

...and a ton of other searching resulting in alot of reading regarding
the usual software flaws, poor implementations (did I repeat myself
there?), etc. I do not see anything that prevents the rolling-up of all
applicable bypass techniques into a single tool. Preferably one written
to be as portable as possible.

Is anyone actively working on this that would care to share? Anyone want
to point out flaws in the idea or make suggestions? Might make for a
good 'con paper & presentation if anyone out there was looking for
something to do.
