wireless use of other peoples bandwidth is legal?

I only commented because I thought what peerzy said was misleading, an ip address on a router tells you nothing.
A mac address would be hard to trace back to a person.

(i would say just do it anyways right now probly an old couple...)

That's like stalking though.

If someone's neighbor has a fast connection and it's not secure, use that shit.

Just don't sit in front of their house.:ph34r:

ahhaha, yeah i would do soo too...or i would have one computer be uploading constantly for torrents (on his connection) then one on mine...i should do that...always nice connections around here

Currently, 6 wireless connections show up. Of the 6, three has good signal and are unencrypted and I turn on my other 2 laptops, both of which has 802.11g cards on them, and download away. I'm never hitting my 30GB bandwidth cap again! Yay!

Oh btw, one of the connections doesnt even have a router password, so if one day I feel really vicious I might even change the router pswd so the poor bastard won't even be able to log on:P

I would like to take this opportunity to thank whoever it is that has an unsecured wireless connection near my girlfriend's house for six months of quality wireless connection. Cheers mate.

If they find out you're using it without asking then they'll surely turn on encryption to block you.


Do the right thing.
