Hotel WiFi uses http login page 😑😑😑

Https is not possible in a local network, or have you ever seen a router which forces https?

I hate login pages for wifi networks. I ones made one with a Facebook login myself (instead of login in you were actually giving your Facebook email and password).

Can be faked easily

.

@Alice my first thought too

Somehow the tags are from my previous post O.o

@YouAreAPIRate you mean to say all captive networks will always use http for login?
I don't think that's true. They can have cert. Sure it will show an error because it won't approved by any CA but I think that's better than plaintext

@YourNemesis have i every tried to accept a self-signed cert in a smartphone-browser? No network will burden their users with this, especially because many users get sceptical with the certificate warning.
Some networks redirect to an outside server with a valid https-certificate. Problem solved. There is a experimental draft for https in local nets, but it's still in development now
