I recently learned about LocalSend and was intrigued by how it functioned by only using the WiFi network of the devices. I did not know my LAN had these capabilities.
Now that I’ve learned about it, I am excited to know if there is anything else I can do with it. Perhaps there could be a way to send prank notifications to all the connected devices, create a private chat room, or have custom LAN parties.
I genuinely do not know anything about how WiFi or LAN in general works in this matter. Is it possible for me to build my own applications that make use of these features? If so, I would love to get a direction on what resources or guides I should be looking for. If not, I would still be happy to use similar pre-built applications.
If you live near a Starbucks, you can buy a cheap router, name its network “Starbucks Public Wifi”, make it public with no password, but also not connect it to anything.
People will connect, and get really really mad and Starbucks will be just as confused as the customers.
Na, the staff are overworked enough. Don’t lump something they have no control over on their laps.
If you can someone do it to the CEO’s private jet for his 1,000 mile commute to work a few times a week that’d be cool.
That’s a special kind of evil. I think I’m mostly ok with it.
This is done in Hotels everyday to use Keyboard loggers and get your information.
Always use a VPN when connecting to an open network.
This, always put protection around your tube when using it with other connections.
I connected to Starbucks and then got a baby 🤷♂️
Then setup a DNS server and a fake website to trick people into giving you their credit card information, free money!
PSA don’t do this, it’s obviously sarcasm ;)
