Let's Share LAN

Command to automate logging in to captive portal. Version - 3.

Currently supports 3 modes:

1. SQL: Get credentials from a sql table (can be using UNIX socket, or using URL)
2. File: Read credentials from a passwords file at $HOME/lsl.pwd
3. Manual: Ask user for login credentials

TIP:

I use this mostly by setting it to start automatically after boot.

Steps with systemd (linux):

1. First install this using cargo install --root /usr --path . --no-track. Or use the PKGBUILD file, if on Arch Linux.
2. Copy lets-share-lan.service to ~/.local/share/systemd/user/lets-share-lan.service. EDIT the service file with correct environment variables, and in After="", put either mysql.service or mariadb.service
3. systemctl --user enable --now lets-share-lan

Done... FORGET ABOUT LOGGING IN AGAIN MANUALLY :)

PreRequisite

Install rust from here.

Then just clone this repo with git, and see usage section

cargo build

Usage

1. Logging in:

By default it will fetch passwords from a MySQL database.

So first see the .env_sample file, and create corresponding .env file.

Ensure that your SQL server is running (mariadb, mysql, default port 3306). Create a database, and enter the name of database in the DB_NAME environment variable (or in .env), eg. DB_NAME=wifi.

Then create a passwords table like this:

create database wifi;
use wifi;

create table passwords (username varchar(10), pwd varchar(50));

% Now insert known credentials in this table, LetsShareLAN will then randomly chose among these each time
insert into …

cargo run

1.2. Login by manually entering username,password

cargo run -- --manual

1.3. Login by using a passwords file in home directory (ie. $HOME/lsl.pwd)

cargo run -- --usefile

The file at $HOME/lsl.pwd should have content like this:

username = password
complex-username = complex-password@123

2. Logout:

cargo run -- logout

Idea

There is a data limit I always exhausted, while many of my friends didn't, so I can use their IDs, this is my way to automate that :)

Note to self: Bhai kuchh aur bhi ideas the, jaise ye sb VPN/TOR ke through secure ho... pta nhi 1st yr me itna kyu aur kaise sochha, shabaas ! 😂

          To see old code, see initial 2 commits. Back then, used selenium, and MANY good inferences
