Damn XP changing settings, taking over services, kicking itself out of the network. But yeah, if I need to jump on the net for a couple mins, and an open AP is around, I might borrow it. No hacking, no nothing. Be lucky if I used 2Mb. |

| 856529 | 2010-02-10 21:35:00 | Change SSID to: Cometo<address>ifyoucantfindyourrouter (Seriously) typical I change the SSID to a offensive word. then i set-up WAP2 with a stong password. then i change the admin password. then i go for a drink :-) 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 ;) The moment you change anything (even putting a text file on their desktop helpfully explaining how to secure their wireless, no matter how good the intention), you have acted unlawfully. You're pretty lucky it wasn't a honeypot network looking for 'network gurus' to leave their footprints. |
