Do you password protect access to your wireless router? - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

niche25 · 02-12-2007, 12:16 AM

Yep. 128Bit bish...

I do it because I don't want everyone and their mother accessing my shit.

I told him that is what I do. May not be the most secure idea, but a lot more secure than carrying them around in his wallet.

Because you have to pay to replace the food and water. Unless you have caps, this would not be the case if you let your neighbor use your Internet connection.

If the ruling is federal and applies to anything, then your argument stands, but only in the US. Still, I'd love to see the ruling tested when a pedophile distributes a few terabytes of CP from his home and then simply claims it wasn't him. And, liable or not, how on earth would you feel if your open network was used to distribute CP?

I don't pay for my water consumption. I still don't want a stranger taking a dump in my toilet. I also don't want my neighbour sleeping in my bed when I'm not home.

ummm, simply saying "it wasn't me" probably wouldn't get you far.

There is some interesting info on a similar scenario on http://tor.eff.org

You have to dig around but its a similar cencept - letting someone else use your conection and how you stand if they misuse it.

I live in an apartment, and I used to leave my router open so that neighbors could use the webz from time to time, but I noticed one of them was using it too much, and they were lagging me from time to time, and since I download and upload shit a lot it got to be an annoyance so I put a password on my connection.

Just a bit strange. locked that shit after you go to take out the trash and you see the glow screens from people in their cars using your wi fi or your neighbors wifi.

Yes I do password protect mine so that "unwanted" people cannot use it.. That being said I also have access to a couple of my neighbors routers and they have it to mine when needed since we are on different types of services in case one of us goes down.. Its not something we planned but its worked out well for us in the past. The "community internet access" idea is a great one but there are still some people who I might not want to slow me down or have the possibility to get into my system.

Which brings up another issue . . . does your town offer citywide wifi? If so, do you use it?

quiet · 02-12-2007, 02:01 AM

No it does not.. Would be nice if it did so that I could get on anyplace at anytime (without an aircard). It would depend on the speed and dependablity on it before I could decide if I would use it as my primary.

v4 media · 02-12-2007, 02:18 AM

I use my neighbours, he has a bigger pipe.. hehe

PussyTeenies · 02-12-2007, 02:39 AM

answer: YES!
reason: i don't like ppl sniffing on my network nor do i like ppl surfing over my bandwidth
extra reason: i like to be a hardass tech :P

DutchTeenCash · 02-12-2007, 04:22 AM

course

WPA passwords and more - Im lookin at 8 different wifi points right now already, imagine if theyd surf on our bw and snoop on login details

no thanks

Irnesto · 02-12-2007, 12:16 PM

Well bad news is no matter even if your machine is password protected both with the machine password and the wireless internet password there is tool that will allow anyone to get your password in secs basically works by taking a memory and dumping it in a file and having all the words searched. Bad news is even when u have passwords they resides in memory until u shutdown and then once u start up again it goes back to ur memory. Also the thing with recycling bin is if u delete it still can be recovered form the computer in fact even if u format only 10 percent of data is gone so best way to hide thing sis to use shredder on recycling bin on ur pc and a hd wipe tools when wanting to reformat.

Brad Gosse · 02-12-2007, 12:25 PM

My wireless connection spans 10 miles. You bet I protect it.

I also have brute force protection etc to stop would be trespassers.

Irnesto · 02-12-2007, 12:30 PM

Irnesto · 02-12-2007, 05:01 PM

but in the end most of the ppl around us are dumbfounded when it comes to computer networking and what not so a basic password is good enough to keep ppl out.

I love how you only reply to things you can argue and ignore everything else.
