I'm trying to connect my Xbox to a hotspot, I am unable to connect through a laptop computer either via ICS or bridging.
How does the hotspot identify authorised devices? Is it by MAC address? If so, could I not just spoof the MAC of another device on the Xbox to allow it to login without authentication?
You can't use the web browser without being logged into live, you can't use live without being logged into hotspot, catch 22.
I'm proposing I log in with a phone and then spoof the mac to the xbox, then the xbox should connect, in my mind, because the session does not expire as soon as the connection is lost?
The BT WiFi would at best see the MAC in use from two different devices, plus don't believe the MAC address is visible to web browsers, i.e. the website you sign in on.
