I found a script for bypassing captive portals on Linux back in the day...

The full functionality of how it works escapes me at the moment, but essentially it searches the network for a host that possibly already connected through the captive portal and spoofs their MAC address.

This isn't the one I originally found, but its the same principal and a Kali tool, so it may be considered more secure than the original bash script I copied back in the day:

I used to use an android app that shared log ins for public Wi-Fi even with a password to connwct. It was great as it automated the log in screen too, so was usually seamless.
