DEF CON 24 - Grant Bugher - Bypassing Captive Portals and Limited Networks

Common hotspot software like Chilispot and Sputnik allow anyone to set up a restricted WiFi router or Ethernet network with a captive portal, asking for money, advertising, or personal information in exchange for access to the Internet. In this talk I take a look at how these and similar restrictive networks work, how they identify and restrict users, and how with a little preparation we can reach the Internet regardless of what barriers they throw up.

Can I get a clarification on this? So do you setup the proxy server on the EC2, and use the EC2 web-address on the Linux Machine, and then setup iodine on the linux machine, and then gain access?
