Alup (Automatic Login for University of Pisa)

Alup (Automatic Login for the University of Pisa) is a Python script provides to keep you logged on University Of Pisa captive portal (Area SerRA). After configuration of Alup with your credentials, the login session will be managed automatically in order to avoid logout due to timeout or connection issues.
Alup works for Linux, Mac and Windows (excepts for the autorun part).

Why Alup?

The first reason is my Raspberry Pi. Alup helps me to log in through ssh by managing the captive portal connection.
I've been using Alup also for my laptop so I decided to improve it in order to help someone else.
I'm lazy, that's all!
