[nghtrydr23]

no its not, there is no such laws that says its stealing. if it was password protected and you hacked in then it would be illegal

[92cb7accord]

Jacking connections is nothing new. I heard they might start cracking down on it though lol. I had to at my old apt lol. I hear they can slap you with a find and its like trespassing or something lol I dunno some wierd shit like that.

[head4life]

oh fuck that secure your shit if you dont want others to use it

otherwise no crime in my eyes haha


of course lots of illegal stuff is legal in my eyes so its whatever

reminds me of the cox cable commercial where everyone was hiding the labtops in the front lawn and getting free wi-fi. Its not illegal.

[deevergote]

My neighbor works for the cable company... I always hope I can jack his internet I don't watch TV, so it'd kick ass if I could get free internet too! No bill!

I do a lot of stuff though... he'd get suspicious when his connection was slow!

My home network is not encrypted. (I find no reason to do so). but i have my I.P tables setup so that anyone using my wireless signal sees all images as upside down!

now thats hilarious...those upside down images would drive me crazy but the blurry images would be the last straw.

Accord R33, that is amazing! lol
That should be my motivation to get a programmable router (versus my little all-in-one) or set up a linux router.

For now, I use MAC filtering and 128bit WEP.

You know someone, somewhere, would put up with that shit for free internet

Kinda like scrambled porn....may be scrambled, but i think as long as you see a boob or 2, and if you got sound...even better

From what I've heard it IS illegal. But, it's not like they'd know or find out who you are unless they know what they are doing....and in that case they should have a secure network lol.
