I have a silly neighbor who has no security or or secure password ( so silly to use a common one, hehe ) their wireless network. I have no idea who this is now i could warn them changing their network name to something that indicates they have been hacked and alert them or i could have some fun.... or i could do nothing and leave it as a backup internet source for me. what should i do and how.. (evil laugh).

Alert them by hacking it. Ive done this before. My friends and I have gone on open networks, found shared folders, and left them a friendly text file telling them to put WEP on their router.

Depends on how fast their line was. No, but I would eventually warn them after some fun.

If they are nice neighbors be nice and let them know. If they are complete a******s to you, hacking their network and jack their internet. I'm not mean, but if someone is really mean to me, I can't just be nice.

No, it is not morality, it is foolishness. imo if they are dumb enough to leave it unsecured, then use it. They will figure out soon enough when it starts getting slow. Dont do any gay stuff like h4xing thier boxes, just use thier internet to help boost ur ratio and get that tv episdoe you missed last night smile.gif
