The opposite of the above, but interesting! This is the first time I've seen this - do I live near a CF member?

Seen any of mine ? I tend to call mine : "FreeBoredBand"

At home I have in addition to the " secured ? " wireless networks I have one that is open for guests, visitors and really anyone wanting to use the internet without the fuss of wep/wpa keys et al.

Its bolted down by VLAN / packet rate filters (100kbps burstable to my full bandwidth) and all is available is DNS,Web,SSL,IMAP(S),POP3 which is good enough for most people.

I did try an experiment in Camden where I set up a free AP for the purpose of replaying SSL packets : Plain illegal of course. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

So if you want to steal someones broadband make sure you don't do any online banking :p

Nope, never really seen any other open ones.

Bes thing to do is to go wired anywho in my book :)

Re: Is it wrong to hijack your neighbours router?
 

Indeed I tend to do very little traffic on wireless. My house has been cat5'd.

Re: Is it wrong to hijack your neighbours router?
 

Made the mistake of having our modem downstairs... So i was on wireless for ages... Then all of a sudden, a 2Gb link upstairs to down with 2xCat6 ;) And then Cat5E upstairs. So, Wireless is a thing of the past here :D

Re: Is it wrong to hijack your neighbours router?
 

Nice.

I'm not allowed any cabling around the house so all mine is CAT5e under the floorboards etc wish I ran CAT6 but I don't lose much ;)
