| 480008 | 2006-08-22 03:17:00 | Anyone who thinks using someone else's broadband connection is OK might want to see what can happen (news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/1/hi/technology/4721723.stm). (Found this in comp.risks). | Graham L (2) | ||
| 480009 | 2006-08-22 03:31:00 | Some people are pretty stupid too. Right now I can see 7 wireless networks on a laptop here at work in Auckland's CBD. 2 of the 7 have no security on them at all. And Both those have been given names which allows me to identify the companies they belong to. Bet they wouldn't leave their office door unlocked at night ....... | Biggles (121) | ||

Although you'd think even the small ones would have some kind of IT service people - you should mention it to them. Sack the slackers.... |

| 480012 | 2006-08-22 07:25:00 | My friend is going to try steal the wireless internet from the business next door to his house. I keep telling him not to because even though he is going to encrypt it and the lot he will either get caught when they get their bill or they will put more security on their connection so it's not worth his time, but no he won't listen to me so hes buying some special wireless modem to do it. *sigh* what a waste of money. |

| 480013 | 2006-08-22 07:27:00 | Nah - my bandwidth at work is way better than what I'd get that way. None of the connections was particularly strong. I had a look a bit later and there were then 10 networks, with 4 unsecured. I don't know how big the companies were, but most folks seemed to name their network after their company, which is slack I think if you were a hacker looking for an in. One of the unsecured networks was a tertiary training organisation. |

Am I missing something?Did you run it from Windows or Linux? It used to (I dunno if it still does as I run Linux fully) give you a popup, which when shut down would give you 2 popups, for each popup closed, 2 more would come back.. and so on. Plus install a lil file in one directory (can't remember which) |
