This is a small script to bypass SafeConnect. SaveConnect is a small tool some universities use to manage you system. It installs their third party tool to monitor your usage and to check to see if you are running a virus scanner. The system is pretty flawed both in code and implementation. You can bypass it all together by running this.

# Version 1.0
# This script will pass a linux HTML header causing safe connect to ignor the host mac address as safeconnect is not developed for *nix machines

I recommend running this inside of a cron for every 5 minutes. This is if you do not want to modify your browsers agent.

How do I run it and does it run the whole time when I startet it?
