Spoof Address For Chromecast Software On A Spoof Address For Chromecast Software On Aīy spoofing the MAC address to the address that was registered by the ISP, a user can work around the ISP limitation.Hope you find this post useful somehow, and beer in mind that I am not spending a lot time to make a fence post, the goal is just share some intel. Note3: The script is a regular MAC address spoof, I you can use it for whatever you wish. Keep in mind that I am not responsible for it's misusage, specially to harm someone else. Note2: I have tested on chromecast, however it should work any device struggling with captive portal authentication. Note1: some hotspots drop the session every 24 hours, in this case you need repeat all steps every day. Now it's done, you can power on your device (chromecast) normally, connect it on the same wifi, that the captive portal won't bother you anymore.Once your are succesfully connection on internet, come back to script and confirm (pressing enter) MAC change revert process.Now that you have the same MAC of your device, connect to hotspot wifi and finish the authentication process.

Press enter only one time and wait the script change your MAC.

download mine script and give it execution permission with the following command: wget || chmod +x tmp_mac_change.Discover your device (chromecast) MAC address: On chromecast app, go to settings and then you'll find it on bottom.Note: this script was tested only on MAC (OSX), I belied that will work on linux as well, up to you test and maybe let me know the outcome ) (for more information about captive portal, please refer: )īeing tired of could not get watch TV/films/shows on foreign countries due to languages gaps, I have developed a small script and published on my github ( ). The goal of this post is show how spoof chromecast device in order to clear the captive portal authentication. However those ones who spend a lot of time on the road, specially in countries with unknown languages, will share this frustration and might enjoy this post.Īs per chromecast (and similar tools) design, they don't work on hotspot with captive portal authentication. As cyber security profissional, this is a complete off topic.
