856507 2010-02-09 02:58:00 See if they have any printers you can connect to.

One network I found once (when I wasn't feeling malicious) I set their printer to print 100 copies of 'How to secure your wireless network' for the model of the router they were using ;)

I also may have accidentally set a 80gb hard drive full of pr0n to format itself... but that might have been a dream ;)

856509 2010-02-09 05:54:00 Recently went and stayed at sister's place in New Plymouth. Next door had an unsecured network and so went knocked on door to tell them that I could see all their files as well. 11 year old boy said "I will tell my parents when they get home. " Two days later, I can still access their networkk, files and everything else. Even offered to fix it for them, but they didn't want to know. Duh?

I like Jamuz idea :D
