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.
A simple network share.
Does your router have a USB port?
Plug in a thumb drive (32-64gb is fine) and configure it in your router’s admin interface to share on the network. (FTP and SMB shares)
An easy way to have all devices in a house able to access a shared directory. (Pictures, movies, music, files)
Maybe crosspost to [email protected] and/or [email protected] since this is in the ballpark of what we talk about there.
WiFi to rick roll:
WiFi to replace all images by proxy:
Seriously Red Team:
Those are fun, but they don’t work for most sites anymore since pretty much every site has started using https and browsers automatically upgrade to https if it’s available.
Yeah, also most sites can’t be downgraded to HTTP due to HSTS.
The “WiFi to rickroll” is still possible though!
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.
Set up hotspots to amuse your neighbors:

FreeCandyI’ve been doing the FBI Surveillance van one for years. 50 is the 5G band and I have 24 as the 2.4G band.
My neighbors had the FBI Surveillance Van SSID, so naturally I set mine up as “Definitely Not Russian Hackers”
