Prison Break from Captive Portals

Free yourself from the chains of having to acknowledging AGBs every time you connect to a captive portal.

Supported Plugins

• Hotsplots
  • Free Wifi in Stuttgart S-Bahn
  • should work for all Hotsplots Access Points (only tested with WIFI@DB)
• WIFIonICE
  • Free Wifi in Deutsche Bahn ICE
  • from Icomera AB

Related Projects

• py-iwd-autocapptiveauth by onny - uses DBUS instead of network-manager hooks which makes it integrate better with different wifi managers

Installation

NixOS

With NixOS 19.03 add to your configuration.nix:

{
  # .1 configure prison-break as dispatcher script
  networking.networkmanager.dispatcherScripts = [
    { source = "${nur.repos.makefu.prison-break}/bin/prison-break"; }
  ];

  # 2. Set up [NUR](https://github.com/nix-community/NUR/)
  nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
    nur = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/nix-community/NUR/archive/master.tar.gz") {
      inherit pkgs;
    };
  };
}

Legacy OS

If you have no problems working on a tainted system

python setup.py install
install -m755 -uroot /usr/bin/prison-break /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/99prison-break

Testing

prison-break provides a couple of means to override the default behavior such as providing a path to the CONNECTION_FILENAME:

prison-break --force-run   # do not bail out on missing CONNECTION_FILENAME
prison-break --force-token # continue even if the challenge token is correct
prison-break --force-match # contineu even if no plugin matched the connection profile as potential access point
