Jackson1647545504 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I decided to do without cable for a while at home which includes internet. However, the SSID of "NETGEAR" popped up recently with exellent signal strength running as an open network. In lieu of recent changes, I'm tempted to connect .... would you l33ch?

BIGGU Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 why not, if your neighbor's stupid enough to not secure his connection id use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Definitely. Its not stealing. They're giving it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farkas Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I would as well.. just make sure your computer is locked up and they can't wander into your pc with reason to get revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morabu Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 umm......YEAH as mentioned, if their dumb enough to not secure the connection, then leech away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Get after it!! Be sure to download lots of copywritten music/movies/porn to suck up their bandwith... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Get after it!! Be sure to download lots of copywritten music/movies/porn to suck up their bandwith... That's what I did for 3-4 months until my neighbor wised up and locked me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 hell yeah i would use if if they locked it down would get a key sniffer and keep using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I would use it also. I have a WiFi Network set up at home with security. When I do a search of available networks, I have the options of 8 networks. Only 2 in the area have any security, mine is one of them. If they don't lock it up, they are giving it away to anyone. So go a head. I know a lot of people that do the same thing you are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimpsy1647545505 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 You were at my place man...you see I don't even have my furniture moved here, yet I can use CR That's because of all the fantastically free unsecured wireless networks here. GO FOR IT...YOU CAN DOOOOO IT! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Yeah. The law says that if your neighbor's network is not secured, they are giving it away. So if its open, feel free to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjs3589 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just wondering if there is any way of them telling if you are using it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I look at it as share and take. I leave mine open, because I tend to be in other places hoping I can pick up a connection on my laptop. Just keep in mind, other people's stuff isn't always reliable, so don't assume it will always be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Use it, hack into one of their PC's, and look at their home made porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Type in 192.168.0.1 then at the login type "admin" in the user and "password" for the pasword, then secure the wireless with a WPA and give it a password you know. That way you lock them out and you have it all to yourself. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 if you just surf the web they will probably never know you are there. do it. especially until you get your own connection. I have thought about going in with a neighbor (or two) on wireless, 90% of the time I am not using my connection to its full potential. $20 a month is better than $40.

Nitrousbird Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 It is illegal to do this if you are caught. Decent penalites if I recall correctly. That said, you'd be amazed at how many open connections there are around town!! That's why my router is locked down with both the network key AND can only connect if the wireless router's MAC address is hardcoded into the router. That should help keep people off my shit.

Acec Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Just wondering if there is any way of them telling if you are using it? If it isn't secured, then more than likely they wouldn't know how to track it either btw - i would use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot_wire Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I intentionally leave my network open for people like you. If I were to notice a large drop in speed, I'd probably close it up. Since I dont use all the bandwith that I pay for, it makes me feel good giving away the extra (plus I love finding open networks when I'm away from home). Link into it! Especially if you're my neighbor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 i leave mine open. Let the people use it. and my neighbors all around are cool, so if i ever get signal (i quit using wireless 2 yr back) i'd use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
