It's only illegal if their WiFi was encrypted, then it would be considered a form of "hacking". If they did not secure their domain, then it's pretty much open/public. I can't wait until they see the extra connection (if they are smart enough) and lock his ass out lol

log in to your router and view the current connections. if its more devices than you have connected then someone else is on there.

edit: beat me to it

LMFAO!!!! hahahahahah

Philly-Night-SR · 06-29-2006, 01:07 PM

well it's an unsecured network connection that your tapping into - I'd think twice about putting/accessing any Credit Card/Cell Phone/etc information on someone elses unsecure connection. We have our wireless network at our apartment encrypted so people like you can't freeload, and also to keep it secured from hackers/viruses/etc.....

teh DIRT · 06-29-2006, 01:35 PM

illegal or not. its wrong.

hehe, wrong and illegal are two different things. He is only reaping the benefits of an open WiFi. They are lucky that he is only using it for Internet access and nothing further. Nowadays with technology they actually have these keypad looking things that find WiFi's...a hacker's new best friend.

smoger · 06-29-2006, 05:27 PM

i wouldnt say its wrong. for all you know they dont care if other people use it. if they were that worried about it theyd secure it.

when one of my neighbors set up a network i kindly changed their SSID to "insecure" to warn them,.. but low and behold.. over a year later,.. the "INSECURE" network is still up and running..

to the person who warned against submitting credit card info.. you're a little confused but i guess i wont get into it because thats another topic. if you'd like to be filled in ill be glad to explain

Intercooled T · 06-29-2006, 05:28 PM

only by going into the router control panel and seeing how many MAC addresses are connected.

Intercooled T · 06-29-2006, 05:29 PM

just don't broadcast the SSID, easiest thing to do

KrautFed20V · 06-29-2006, 05:34 PM

that and leaving the router with default settings isn't smart either... with a password like "admin" or "password" makes it easy for the person using your internet to change your settings so that you can't kick them out.

Twin_Cam · 06-29-2006, 05:53 PM

I've used my neighbor's network before. Only just to goof around, and I know him, so I was like "Hey you might want to put a password on that." He's a smart one.
