My personal hostel wifi auto login

Well, as usual this is also about a solution to one of my problem!

At my hostel we were provided with a wifi that requires login. The problem is that this wifi logs you out every 30 mins. So every 30 min we were forced to fill in the login details, which was really distracting when you are in middle of some deep research or watching a youtube video!
This sent me in search of a program which can help to automatically login into the wifi for us.

I got plenty of apps for mobile. My personal favorite is WiFi AfterConnect Web Login. 

But I was not able to get any such app for computers.
So, I decided to write a program which will login into the wifi for us. My first intention was to develop it in a language which compiles to native binaries like c++. But upon research I found very good headless browser for Java, but failed to do so for others. The other language for which the solution was a easy one was c#, which I didn't know, nor, was in a situation to learn it.

After that, I thought that I should make the source code public so that if, someone is in need of a similar app, he/she can use it. This app is very simple and basic. You can easily modify it to your needs!

Note: This is written in java, so to use this you are required to have Java installed.

Here is the link to github page :

Windows:

Linux and OS X:

Hope you enjoy it. If you want to improve it, you can do so and send me merge request!
If you want some additonal features, you can comment, over here. I will try to work on them.

Hospital Management System (my second full fledged program)

Blabbering... You can skip it Hi buddies ... Sorry for no being able to post any blog for a long time. There were so many topics on which I wanted to post and so many newly gained knowledge that I wanted to share, but I was not able to gain the permission of long standing and ever persistent time. My new college, new friends, so many things to learn, so many things to know about and without forgetting, for my vested intrest in literature and cinematic, watching movie, tv shows and reading novels, kept me engaged throughout the half year! The one thing I realized that computer science is a vast domain and the is always so much to learn!!! Well as the title goes here I am to talk about my second full fledged program. Ya, second, my first was a simple paint program, developed by me as an assignment for Xth ICSE Board exam. It is a sad thing that I am no longer in the possession of the source code or the final program, but proof of it is sill buried in the assignment records of my ...

Gmail SMS Notification For New Mails(new, easy and simplified meathod)

Image
Here is a new and easier way to setup your Google Account to receive free and automatic SMS notification to your mobile for new mails in your Gmail Inbox. (Steps to setup only for Priority Inbox(Important Mails) is also provided .) Hey there may be many reasons why you need SMS notification for your new mails in your mailbox. As usual, Google does not fail us in this venture also. Although Google does not provide us with direct service for SMS notification of our mails, but there is a way out of this using the calendar remainder via SMS. My approach is not new. In fact if you Google for it you will get hundreds of such ways. But I found out that they all were almost the same and a little tricky to setup (although not for techies, but for common men). So, I spun up  a new and easy to setup method for it. It does not require any Gmail filter setup or any manual setup for remainders. All you need is to setup your mobile number and the script triggers. What it does is...

Now the computers are starting to have UEFI instead of BIOS. So, if you want to multiboot with your Kali linux then you will face a formidabe problem since the linux distros have not yet fully supported it. --You are free to skip this if you like-- I am not first one to write on this topic and many experts have already written on this.
