So I work at a factory. It’s decent work, pays the bills. But I burn through my monthly data in a week from browsing my phone on breaks. I know there’s company wifi all over the building, but it’s intended for the office drones, not the plebs like me on the factory floor.
Some of the guys I’ve worked with knew the password and could use the wifi, but everyone I asked refused to share the password with me. I guess the didn’t want to risk getting in trouble? 🤷♂️
Anyway, a while back I learned about these pwnagotchi things, and from what I’ve found it would be exactly what I need to sniff out the password myself. But is this right?
Could someone who knows more about this tell me if I’m on the right track or not? Would this work, or would something else do better?
For the record, I only browse lemmy and a little Facebook at work, I’m not looking to download a bunch of stuff or bring a laptop to game on or anything. Just want to poke around the internet without using all my monthly data.
I’d say call front desk and let them patch you to IT support.
Also, btw my company has only guest wifi. (Workstations use wired LAN.) It’s not connected to the actual company network. It’s for visitors/customers, so they can use their notebooks/tablets while negotiating deals etc… It can also be used to do things like that, as long as it doesn’t interfere with customers.
