If you have read my previous posts (part 1 and part 2), you should have an idea

of what xfinitywifi is and how it works. As I promised, I will detail how to con
nect to this network for free, without registration. I will list the necessary s
teps required first and then explain how/why they work. If all you want is free
wifi, you do not need to read the second part.
There are two ways you can connect to xfinitywifi, both of which rely on MAC add
ress spoofing:
Method 1 (easier, much preferred to the second one

for as long as it works)

First you need to change the MAC address of your network card.
open up a terminal and type the following command: (Note that, the last
character of en0? is a zero, and not an O)
sudo ifconfig en0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:0A
Enter the admin password for your computer.
Open up the list of available wifi networks and connect to xfinitywifi
Voila You are now connected to xfinitywifi. No authorization, no registration
.
NOTE: the en0? above is the name of your network card on your operating syste
m. If you are using a version of Linux (like Ubuntu, etc. your network interface
name will probably be something like wlan0, wlan1, etc. To find out your interf
ace name, issue the following command in the terminal and it should list all you
r interfaces.
ifconfig -a
Note 2: You need to repeat this process every time you restart your machine.
If you want to make the change permanent, you can add this command to your .bas
hrc file. Leave a comment if you would like more information about it.
Method 2 (more cumbersome, but works even when the previous method does not)
As mentioned in part 2 of this series, you get 2 one-hour complimentary sessions
per month. And once you use your first session, you have to wait at least 24 ho
urs before you can use your second complimentary pass. Guess how the access poin
t keeps track of your complimentary passes? Your MAC address If you have taken an
y computer networking class, you might have heard of what a MAC address is.
So, if you had 2 computers, you could use 4 complimentary passes per month. If y
ou had 10 computers, you could use 20 hours of complimentary access. What if you
had 1 million computers? Of course, there are not many people out there with 1
million computers, but we can pretend to have so. What we are going to do is, ev
ery time we use up one of our complimentary passes, we will change our MAC addre
ss and pretend to be some other computer. OK, here are the necessary steps:
Go to the command line and change your MAC address to any arbitrary address
using the ifconfig command as before:
sudo ifconfig en0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:01
Connect to xfinitywifi using the list of available networks
When prompted, signup for a complimentary trialEnter a random zip code and a
random email address and agree to the terms of service.
voila again you are connected.
After one hour, your connection will time out. Repeat the process again, cha
nging to a different MAC address. You can just increment the MAC address by 1 an
d for example use 00:00:00:00:00:02
