I always give some bs emails in those authentication forms. Mainly because as a client who tries to connect, I do not have internet access, so I cannot verify my email before they give me the access. And when they gave me access, there is no power in the world to make me do that ๐คท
I used to spoof my MAC to connect to Xfinity Wifi hot spots. I would give them emails like "eet4dickComcrap@gmail.com"
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.
Android automatically spoofs your MAC for every network and regularly changes it for each one too unless you explicitly disable that after connecting.
Makes static DHCP leases a PITA.
Yup.
