Ello I am speaking to you via wireless, wireless that i am stealing from someone else muahahhahahaha

Just took my mates centrino laptop out for a network test on the industrial estate, and i've found bloody loads of open unsecured networks!

Really must get myself a wireless laptop, this is fantastic!!!

Have done this too, most amusing.

 

its even funnier when they have file and print sharing turned on, and WHOLE DRIVES shared out

must admit there are some muppets about.

 

Be careful, it's completely illegal...

Sorry, totally new to this wireless network thing, but with have just got a new laptop in the office with wireless network card...

How do you log on to someone else's wireless network?

When I enable the wireless, I can see 4 other wireless networks in my locallity. If it try to connect to them it asks for username and password. Are these "protected" then?
Would an unprotected one just let me login without asking for authorisation?

Yes unprotected one just logs you straight in.

 

Back again, on a differn't one now

I noticed a few strange things though.

Like when i am near a bus, a network comes up as 'AirportThrou' and when the bus goes, so does the signal. Its a computer to computer link aswell.
