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.

Warning would be very generous. I wouldn't bother do.

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

Why bother? If the person is so careless there is allready a hacker in

My parents nieghbour has an open wireless network with 2meg broadband, very handy, when I visit I can take my MacBook and carry on working.

See if he has a XP box and try to access C$

Warn them and offer to fix it for them. I've done that for neighbors.




What are you, a rogue?

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.

then learn to be nice.

Whats wrong with you ppl. Free internet = Good. I Like to keep it that way. Torrents all the way.

PS: I am really cheap, and have WPA on my wifi.

Well, I have morality to work out it is not right to hijack peoples Wlans.

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

Exactly.

I am nice, if they are just mean to me, I would use their internet connection (everyone on my street has cable, so

If you pirate stuff from someone else's internet connection, the unsuspecting users could be charge with piracy.

thats the whole point

they dont secure it so they get charged

its like, a human shield. For free

still not morally right.

alert em with a friendly txt and ask for a password when they'll secure their network

good idea

and if they dont give u a password, then hack it

Shut up Kiko!

Excuse me . That was a totally valid comment. Anyway, next time you go to reconciliation, you have to say sorry for that. Its a sin ya know

It's not a sin to tell someone to stop being annoying.

hey, peace & love

ok, including kiko

ok, your annoying webmonkey, but yeah. Peace and love

i was just clarifying what Kiko said
