Thread: My neighbours wireless connection - live again

  1. #1
    Recently, i posted a question, telling that my neighbour's wireless connection was dead and how i could re-use it.

    Somehow, this wireless connection is working again. :applaud: I did not do anything, it just started working.

    So my question is: before i start using this connection, what are the issues I should be aware of???? :hmm:

    (1) Do I put of myself at risk for using this connection?
    (2) Can the other person know that I am connected to his connetion?
    (3) Can he know what I am downloading?
    (4) How can he misuse my computer?

    regards

    I'd say SingaBoiy and 4play have already answered those questions.

    (Mootar) morons.
    (Mootar) these people who live in my apartment complex are connected to my wireless
    (Mootar) they must think they're super-cool hackers by breaking into my completely unsecure network
    (Mootar) unfortunatly, the connection works both ways
    (Mootar) long story short, they now have loads of horse porn on their computer


    edit:

    I wouldn't use others wireless network without a permission.
    I think its just not cool.

    Just get your own connection. Its cheap enough nowadays. If you're leeching off someone else you deserve everything you get

    Its a bit different to steal the connection or download a mp3.
    We're not suppose to be talking about hacking here.
    This is filesharingtalk.com ,not networkhackin.com.

    I wont help you on this.

    What you're doing is pretty cheap, just get your own connection IMO.

    he cant just delete stuff off your computer and you can set it up so he cant send you anything.

    I would set up a network share for a laugh and put a few decent films and mp3s in there. leave a little note in there called readme and see if he/she is interested in sharing a bit of bandwidth for some decent files.

    if i heard right, pennsylvania is the only state to make it agaisnt the law to use someone's internet connection without them knowing, not because they allow it in other states, its just that you know how slow lawmakers are to new technology

    Its good to see that people still have some moral values left.

    Well on a second thought, Bush is also slaughtering humans on the name of Moral Values. I hope your moral vlaues are not similar to his.
