I've been logging into my neighbor's wireless (just found out about it yesterday) -- it's high-speed vs my dial up.

Do they know I'm logged into their network? Can they track my keyboard or see what pages I'm viewing?

Coincidently my MySpace profile was deleated but that may be 'cause I had the profile name: "GoddessLSD-xtc-Cubensis".
 
they could if they were super elite hackers. But they aren't. In fact, they're so inept that hey don't even know how to stop you from stealing their wireless internet signal.

WTF, it's airwaves, like radio waves.

I don't know which neighbor it is or what, if any effect my logging in has on their computer (it may slow them down if I'm using alot of bandwidth).

My concern was if they could see what pages I'm looking at or track my keyboard.

I think It's just a coincidence that my MySpace profile went down shortly after logging into their network.

Its stealing. It is a service that you are taking without paying for it. Just because it is broadcast into the air does not give you the right to take it.

Is it possible for them to track what you are doing on the internet? Yes.

Is it possible for them to monitor your keystrokes? Yes. You are on their network, its entirely possible that they could slip a keylogger onto your system and be monitoring everything you type.

Is it right for you to use their network without their permission? No.

Your personal quote you have listed as being acredited to Unknown, however that is a Hunter S. Thompson quote.

I am just providing information.
 
Stealing!! But the only way they are able to see what you have visited if they have a program which captures alll packets that go threw the router or wireless device MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THIS. . the program grabs all the packets and puts them together to the point of viewing what you were viewing. . . other than that your pretty much on the safe side. . . But they can view who is connected at the same time and it will label the name of your computer when you are connected to the router or wireless device. thats most likely how they discovered you . .

Thank you! I may just have to stop stealing your bandwith now 8o
 
on my service provider there was a bandwith limit of ten gigs, with increasing service charge for each additional meg. If i was you i would check that there isp doesnt do that or you might end up costing them alot of money. If not, i think this is the freaking definition of victimless "crime", hell if i had wireless i would let anyone who wanted to use it use it, so long as they didnt mind sitting outside. I mean why not.

i concur
 
Courts have ruled it as stealing. 'Nuff said.

The beauty of borrowing wifi is that 99% of the time, open WAPs are created by ignorant users that don't care about their bandwidth enough to protect it.

Accept the consequences that may result and enjoy.

Yes, they can monitor your packets, but that's it. Unless you have holes in your software and they are up to hacking, they cannot slip anything onto your system.

I don't know if I'm with you on that one. Copying music and movies is closer to a victimless crime, because it doesn't create any lack, just a copy. If someone take my bandwidth, it means I don't get to use it, and believe me, I'm using it. I use close to my capacity all day every day.
 
Right click on your wireless connection(desktop) then go to properties then view wireless connection and
You should see their name. You are lucky one of your neighbors
own a wireless G router. Once they learn about lag the fun is over because they will pw the router. But if i was in your shoes i would get their IP address
before a PW is put on the router. As long as you have their IP address it wont matter how many passwords they use.:)
 
... ya it would, if they enable WEP.

Better to just enter the router console with the default login, and set a password yourself.

You know, or quit being a little bitch and shell out the fraction of your weekly wages on high speed internet.

This is why I don't buy wireless routers. %)
