    Hack Logan Airport wifi

    I’m stuck at Logan Airport in Boston, without even a book. Paying $8 for internet sucks, especially when your just at the airport for a few hours. Thank god, whoever manages the wifi login/pay system left a backdoor:

    go to https://nomadprime.subscribe.loganwifi.com:1112/, after having connected to the wifi network.

    Click around until you find the screen that lets a new user sign up, click that screen, and it will say “free internet.” This isn’t verbatim because after you get past the payment on whatever access point is nearest to you you cannot go back, and I can’t exactly remember what buttons I pressed.

    But my flight home has been delayed due to weather, and I’ve hardly even noticed. Wifi rules.

    1. Yes, I tried that. The trick seemed to be for me going to the root page, creating an account, choosing one of the plans that gives me minutes for $0 (COMCAST PPD), choosing Visa, entering a card number of 50000000000 expire in a month, going back, and using my new “prepaid card”. Enjoy!
