$ python campus_wifi.py
$ python campus_wifi.py --login #Directly log in to your account
$ python campus_wifi.py --logout #Directly log out of your account

$ python campus_wifi_csv.py

Help Section

If you use campus_wifi.py for logging in, then you need to set your username and password in the config.json file.

Note: The endpoints defined in the config.json file are the default endpoints for the hostel and campus wifi. If the endpoints are changed, you should be smart enough to figure it out can find the new endpoints by inspecting the network requests in the browser's developer tools.

If you use the campus_wifi_csv.py for logging in, then you need to create a wifi.csv file containing the credentials that you want the script to use for logging in.

Example for wifi.csv file:

username1, password1
username2, password2
username3, password3
