So late!

Maybe I should start coming home a little earlier at night! Didn't get home 'til 2 AM. So tired! Anyways, I think that everyone who has a wireless router needs to learn how to configure it appropriately. Last night when I was messing with my laptop. I found at least 5 different wireless networks in my neighborhood from sitting just in my room. And only one of them has encrypted security. Basically it means, I had access to the other unprotected ones. And that means free wireless Internet connection for Son!

I live on a hilly area and all of my neighbors' houses are kinda spaced far apart from mine. The house that's behind me is actually sorta down the hill from where I am. So I wonder whose networks are these belonged to! All of these wireless routers are IEEE 802.11g and that = 54Mbps Data Rates! So sweet! Cul de sac = more free wireless routers for Son to choose from! I should take my laptop and sit right in the middle of the cul de sac just to see how many wireless networks I can sniff!

The reason why I mentioned that people should really configure their routers (at least set a 64-bit encryption key, or even change the default password for goodness sake!) is that...on these open unsecured network, I can actually access their routers' configuration page, and potentially lock them out of their own routers and leave them hanging without an Internet connection! Which I won't do because that would be sooooo mean! Maybe I'll just packet sniff all of their sensitive "transitions" and data!!!! :wink:
