Node.js script that automatically logs into Mikrotik captive portal.

Mikrotik Captive Autologin

This Node.js script automates logging into Mikrotik captive portal.

To add more security, Mikrotik captive portal appends some random bytes and encodes the transmitted password to MD5. This script retrieves the bytes, appends and encodes the password, then sends it to the captive portal.

Configuration

Install this package with NPM:

npm install -g mikrotik-captive-autologin

Create $HOME/.config/mikrotik-captive-autologin directory and create config.json file inside it, and fill it like this:

[
    {
        "ssid": "<wifi name>",
        "hostname": "<captive portal hostname without http://>",
        "username": "<your username>",
        "password": "<your password>"
    }
]

You can add multiple configurations for different SSIDs.

Then run the script.

mikrotik-captive-autologin

Thank you so much to Iyxan23 for the idea and helping me out in a lot of things, since my JavaScript and Node.js knowledge is a bit rusty (pun intended).

mikrotikcaptiveautologin's Issues

Rewrite in a compiled language and use QuickJS for md5.js?

This project was intended to be written in a language with minimal dependency, but the first time we wrote this we didn't find a compatible MD5 implementation. So we relied on Node.js to run md5.js.

Recently, I found a tiny JS runtime called QuickJS. It implements most of ES2020 (which is way more than we need) and only adds ~200KB when embedded into a C program. Would be nice to have a statically compiled, lightweight single executable that could run without any external dependency.
