So I’ve got an extra channel on my openwrt router/AP. Thinking it would be funny to serve up a public SSID named “Communism Will Win”
The bit would be that any http/s request would simply resolve to the communist manifesto or some other sort of agitprop. Can anyone help me understand what would be needed to pull this off?
could probably put an ESP32 in AP mode and create a captive portal that goes to a service hosting a copy of marxists.org
they’re cheap enough to be throwaways. Combine them with a USB wall wart and just leave them all over.
Mine currently is “40% of cops beat their wives” and I live in Windermere, Florida which is white people and gross pick mes. The guy next door is from venezuela and hangs the Amerikkkan flag even after his country is getting bombed. Talk about a fucking cuck.
maybe he hates venezuela for personal reasons
if i moved somewhere that bombed the US i’d happily fly their flag
Lol, a Venezuelan living in Windermere, FL is a gusano.
On a technical level you could blackhole any DNS request on that network by running your own recursive resolver (i use unbound) and using these DHCP options
which is about the best you can do for HTTPS as best I can tell (I wanted to do something similar to this but couldn’t get further than that). Then you could redirect every domain resolution to 65.109.101.238(marxists.org currently), but I lack the knowledge on how to make anything in theURLPathportion properly resolve. Likeexample.com/where-to-buy-a-tentwould just be rendered up as65.109.101.238/where-to-buy-a-tent.(If anyone was wondering and wants to help bridge the gap in my knowledge I wanted to make
resolve to old. automatically without a browser plugin on all devices but that isn’t at the DNS level.)Yeah, the more i think about it the more i realize the Internet is designed to prevent this sort if thing
I think the captive portal solution others have mentioned is the proper one.
And there is now an actual captive portal system that isn’t hacky: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_portal#Captive_Portal_API already supported by iOS https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=q78sq5rv and presumably Android too.
And you can get an IP-address X509 certificate from LetsEncrypt https://letsencrypt.org/2025/07/01/issuing-our-first-ip-address-certificate
And if your router supports Enhanced Open, it can be a little more secure than a completely unencrypted connection to the wifi network itself.
Like segfault11 mentioned, if you could host a server locally instead of just going to/redirecting to https://marxists.org/ it would be even better (no traffic to the internet, works when the internet is down).
And you could disable routing any packets from the connected client over the internet, so people couldn’t use your open network for internet and get your IP banned or something.
Of course doing this would be a really involved project. But it would be super cool because it could be completely offline (other than the fact that the X509 certificate is only for 6 days) and useful for more than just silly stuff.
It could even be IPv6 only since it wouldn’t need to connect to the internet.
The best way would be to have a captive portal that shows theory and grants access to the internet after the user fills out some theory questions.
Imagine the whole neighborhood getting mysteriously infiltrated by by people voting to change it to a capitalist one lol
returning a random page from RedSails.org
What if you bait them with two channels with names to lure conservatives and libs seperately and serve them theory in sort of a way that could get past the brainworms without mentioning communism and calling it some alt theory. Maybe add some quizes that they have to get right before reading further and mention it was actually communism all along after a certain level of engagement has been reached.
