## wifi-watcher
|
|
|
|
This simple node app will frequently request a small web resource (on S3) to see if your HTTP requests are being redirected by a wifi hotspot.
|
|
|
|
If you get redirected, the app can try to detect which hotspot you're on and log in with the specified credentials.
|
|
|
|
To get it running:
|
|
|
|
1. Clone or otherwise download this repository:
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/brianshaler/wifi-watcher.git && cd wifi-watcher
|
|
OR
|
|
wget https://github.com/brianshaler/wifi-watcher/archive/master.zip && unzip master.zip && cd wifi-watcher-master
|
|
|
|
2. Install npm (Node.js Package Manager) if you don't have it yet:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install npm
|
|
|
|
3. Install this app's dependencies:
|
|
|
|
npm install
|
|
|
|
4. Then, run the app:
|
|
|
|
node app.js
|
|
|
|
You can edit app.js to add rules for new wifi hotspots. Right now, it's set up to detect and log in on the wifi at [Cartel Coffee in Tempe](http://cartelcoffeelab.com/)
