Well I am up here in Port Angeles, WA waiting to pick up my sister and take her to our aunts house to spend Christmas Eve. There is a Hotel across the street that has wireless internet so I just tapped into that. People really need to secure this stuff I could do some dangerous stuff. Stuff I have discovered finding Wireless networks is as follows.
I was driving around one night and saw a lovely bunch of houses and thought I would pull in and see what they had to offer as far as Wireless Internet. I found one network that was open and I turned off all my sharing options so I wouldn’t even be seen on their network I love a BSD Based OS ;-). And I found this folder called pictures that was not protected and I opened it up and they were organized Family, Daughter, Daughters Friends. I thought WTF Daughters friends and it was all pics of his daughters friends in skimpy clothes or their underwear. From slumber parties or other events. I thought to myself WTF Sicko people out there. I would never let my daughter spend the night at someones house unless I inspect their comptuers first. Hopefully they have a wireless network I can tap into.
Drove by a a house one time and my laptop said wireless network found which is odd at 40mph it was called Linksys which is what most Wireless Networks that are left on default say or Netgear or D-Link. And the passwords to access the router are either admin, password, 1234, pass really easy because those are the default passwords. This dude or gal had all their Quicken Files shared and unprotected I could have had full access to their bank account #’s.
I just begin to wonder why people don’t take the 30 mins or so to read the manual. Probably could make a decent buck securing a Wirless Network mine is protected with a randomly generated 128-bit WEP Key that is changed every 6 days because I read in theory someone with a supercomputer could figure out a 128-bit key in 7 days so I just made it six to be safe. Mac Address just let’s me access the network.
I also get an e-mail wherever I am sent to me and my cell phone if someone even tries to access the network and fails at the password more then once.
So secure wireless network. And if the sick fuck staring at his younger daughters friends I hope you die I would like to pull my future catapult up to your house launch a boulder. I hope your wife finds out and get totally gang raped in a divorice.
