#V-2.0

IIIT-NR Cyberoam Auto-Login (V2.0)

This project provides a simple Linux watchdog script (toggle-portal.sh) and an installer (install.sh) to keep you logged in to the Cyberoam captive portal automatically.

Instead of manually logging in/out through the portal webpage, the script periodically pings Google (or another target). If connectivity is lost, it automatically posts your credentials to th’e captive portals login.xml endpoint using curl.

---

Installation

h2>

1. Unzip the folder you downloaded(from the releases tab):
   

 unzip portal-tools.zip -d ~/portal-tools
 cd ~/portal-tools

pre>

2. Run the installer:
   

 chmod +x install.sh
 ./install.sh

pre>

During installation you will be prompted for:

• Cyberoam username
  
• Cyberoam password
  
• Install directory (default: ~/.local/bin)
  
  

Credentials are stored safely in:
~/.config/toggle-portal/credentials (mode 600).

3. The installer will:
   

• Copy toggle-portal.sh into the install directory
  
• Create a wrapper (toggle-portal-run.sh) that loads your credentials
  
• Add an @reboot crontab entry to auto-start on boot
  
• Log into ~/toggle-portal.log
  
• Create a helper tail-toggle-portal-log.sh to view logs

▶️ Usage

h2>

Run manually

 nohup toggle-portal-run.sh > ~/toggle-portal.log 2>&1 &

pre>

View logs

 ~/tail-toggle-portal-log.sh

pre>

Auto-start
The installer adds a crontab entry so the script launches automatically at boot.
Check with:

 crontab -l

pre>

You should see something like:

 @reboot nohup /home/user/.local/bin/toggle-portal-run.sh > /home/user/toggle-portal.log 2>&1 &

pre>

⚙️ How it Works

h2>

1. Pings 8.8.8.8 once per second
   
2. If ping fails → assumes captive portal dropped your session
   
3. Builds a POST like:
   

 mode=191&username=<user>&password=<pass>&a=<timestamp>&producttype=0

pre>

… and sends it to:
https://cyberoam.iiitnr.edu.in:8090/login.xml

4. Loops forever, logging you in whenever needed

---

️ Troubleshooting

h2>

Script didn’t log me in

• Check logs:
  

tail -f ~/toggle-portal.log

pre>

• Look for success strings (success, logged in, <message>OK)
  
  

Wrong credentials

• Edit your saved credentials:
  

nano ~/.config/toggle-portal/credentials

pre>

• Restart the script:
  

 pkill -f toggle-portal.sh
 nohup toggle-portal-run.sh > ~/toggle-portal.log 2>&1 &

pre>

No Internet even after login

• Portal host may differ→ check browser DevTools when logging in manually
  
• Update PORTAL_HOST in toggle-portal.sh
  
  

Change ping target

• Edit toggle-portal.sh, replace 8.8.8.8 with another IP or domain

Notes

h2>

• Credentials stored in ~/.config/toggle-portal/credentials (plain text, mode 600)
  
• Works on Linux (tested on Ubuntu/Debian)
  
• Needs bash and curl
  
• Customize retry intervals and targets by editing toggle-portal.sh

##V-Alpha ## Instructions to Install

Make sure you download this entire directory:
just gitclone this stuff (usme toh sab hi expert hain): git clone https://github.com/sundeep-kp/Auto-login-framework.git
cyberoam-autologin/ ├── install.sh # installer script (sets up everything)
├── uninstall.sh # removes files, disables timer/service)
├── cyberoam-login.js # main Node.js autologin script
├── cyberoam-login.service # systemd service unit
├── cyberoam-login.timer # systemd timer unit

The last three files will be automatically copied/moved to their required locations.
You don’t have to touch a damn thing (trust me :D).

Right click and run install.sh as a program or from your terminal.

### Note:-


*Bhai, aur kuchh suggestions hai to bata dena merko, bas 150 rupiya lega mai.* *You may provide me with suggestions for the project.*

---

Optional settings-
#if you don't want any pop ups , change this setting to true (search using ctrl+f inside the cyberoam-login.js file) :- headless: false

### If stuff doesn't work, try these out:

#Make `install.sh` executable:

Paste this in the terminal:-

chmod +x install.sh - Make sure your **`cyberoam-login.js`** is okay using the **system-installed Chrome/Chromium** *(usually `/usr/bin/chromium-browser` or `/usr/bin/google-chrome`)*.

#Edit the part that says:

js
const BROWSER_PATHS = [
'/usr/bin/chromium-browser',
'/usr/bin/chromium', '/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable',
'/usr/bin/google-chrome',
'/snap/bin/chromium'
];

If Puppeteer can’t find it, then you specify the path in executablePath when launching:


const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
headless: false
executablePath: '/usr/bin/chromium-browser' // adjust as needed
});


You may add your current browser (Brave, Vivaldi, Edge, etc.)
(they should work given the Chromium framework, but I dunno — I ChatGPT-ed the entire code, who am I to judge 😅)
