1) It doesn't matter how powerful a computer you have behind a brute force attack if the bottleneck is on your side of things.Quote:

Also, my WPA2 password is 64 characters long. Anything less and you're playing amateur league. :whistling
Open the default gateway's IP in your browser. That usually lets you access its Web interface (having logged in first), which in turn should let you check who's connected somewhere.Quote:

IF I am using someone's wifi signal and downloading,will the owner of the connection know that i am using
That depends on a variety of factors I won't go into since hacking discussions are forbidden by FST's rules.Quote:
If i do manage to get his wifi can i log into his system if so can anyone explain.
Okies. Won't give links, but it's the first result in Google for the query "wpa cracker". :)Quote:

Just to be safe you can isolate the wireless network from wired users too...

i would doubt someone has hacked ur wireless. u say u use wpa so they mostly likely didnt hack the password unless you have a keylogger. the other way that i know of takes a little more skill but bypasses the wpa security all together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stnJiPBIM6o
If the password is weak, WPA can be cracked in relatively little time using dictionary or bruteforce attacks.Quote:
