Now let me get this straight:

Someone else taking advantage of lax network security to obtain bandwidth at another's expense is fine and dandy.

OP taking advantage of lax network security for the lulz is a heinous crime.

That about sum things up?

It's just another example of GAF-hypocrisy. There's not a single person here who wouldn't use an unsecured wifi signal if they needed it at the time, and there'd be any number of justifications they'd make for it. But oh the threads they would make if someone did something to them in retaliation.
 
Actually happened to me a while back, I was an idiot and didn't set up a password.
But after I set it up, was talking to my neighbor the next day and she said "what happened to the free Internet, it's locked and there's a password now" :lol
 
find the IP that they've been given, Start->Run and type in \\ipaddress\c$ and look for their My Pictures folder. Start randomly printing out their photos and taping them to their door every couple of days. Rename your SSID to ThisIsOnlyTheBeginning.
 
Unfortunately they didn't have a printer, and didn't have sharing turned on, but it ended hilariously anyways.

I walked by their partially covered porch last evening and whilst saying hi to them (which they never reply to other than nodding. No smile or anything) I noticed both were sitting with their laptops. Now was my chance!

I ran inside and got on the router settings to investigate, and sure, there they were - one connected as her name and the other (the boyfriend's) with the same name as my computer. I opened my porch door as it's close to the thin wall that separates our porches to listen in on their misery, and kicked one of the computers off the network.

"Hmm, do you still have internet?" says the chubby female. "Yes." responds the hairy male.

Then I open the wireless for her and at the same time kick him off.

"Wait, I don't" says Hair. "But I DO!" says Chubby.

This goes on for a while with me dropping and reconnecting their laptops at random. They're now starting to get agitated. I then rename the connection to "Elisabeth" - her name. Now none of them are connected.

"What the hell, I was downloading PARADISE HOTEL" she screams. "Wait, why is my computer listed here?" "You're probably broadcasting the signal, something is wrong with your laptop" her technically inclined man states.

"This only happened after you borrowed my computer" she proclaims. "YOU destroyed it! And I had this in for repairs just two weeks ago!" "What, no way, and don't snap on me like that"

I now see that they are both connected to the wireless again. I change the name to "VIRUS DETECTED". I wait about a minute.

"OH MY GOD, I told you you'd get it infected AGAIN. I told you to never visit that site AGAIN" The last word sounds like it's whined by a 10 year old girl that is clamping her nose shut with her fingers.

"Wait, what?" The bevildered hairy man says.

She starts muttering something I cannot hear, but from what I picked up she's trying to find some old pictures on her laptop but for some reason can't find them. She's getting hysterical.

"I HAD THESE PICTURES BEFORE I SENT IN THE COMPUTER", she hulks. "YOU GOT THEM TO DISAPPEAR. YOU!! YOU! YOUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!"

The girlfriend sounds like she's going to cry and runs inside, locking their porch door. Since we live in the same building I have the exact same door and know that there is no door handle on the outside (stupid design), so I sneak up to the window and as I suspected - the boyfriend walks by on the wet grass without shoes to get to the other side of the building and their front door which means he has to cross a small construction site covered in mud. He looks super pissed off.

Now I've turned MAC filtering on and they are blocked forever. I'll never know what that site he used to visit was though.

bravo, internet god.
 
Last time I had someone on my wireless network I added them to my mac filtering list but then I restricted the IPs to only go to Google.com and then as soon as it would go off that page it would get "web page cannot be displayed..." :lol

I heard them out on the patio swearing 6 ways till Sunday but they eventually gave up after a couple of hours.... :lol The network name of course was "linksys" :lol
 
awesome story bro, teach them some lessons! i think it should be alright to make fun these kinds of people, they totally deserve it.
 
I used to always use neighbors' wi-fi whenever I was home because our own wi-fi is messed up and doesn't work. However, this most recent time I've come home they've all locked their wi-fis, so now I can't get online with my Wii, iTouch, either of my DSes, and have to plug my laptop in with an ethernet cable. Was thinking of making a thread to get help fixing the problems with my family's own wi-fi router, but I don't really know enough about what's wrong with it to know the proper questions to ask... Anyway, don't be mean to people stealing your wi-fi, if it bothers you just lock it and leave it at that.

Did you wring your hands, and let out a high-pitched laugh, revelling in your nerd revenge? Puh-lease.

Let's see... you spend hours plotting a plan and then typing a long-ass post on an internet forum... yeah I can see who came out on top here.

Because people posting about how people who post about their lives have no lives have so much more of a life.

Set up a proxy server and reroute all of their http://www.google.com/search?* requests to a small web server that can run PHP. Set the web server to serve this:

Code: 
$a = array(
'animal husbandry scent',
'white power candyland',
'dead baby duck hunt',
'goat carnival',
'wax whistle',
'liver and onion soup',
'hitler miniskirt',
'unendowed singles',
'road rage midgets',
'manhole cover fetishes',
'chef boyardee fan fiction',
'jesus is speaking to you',
'rear entry mailbox',
'top ten flavored priests',
'dog sledding scandals',
'body quadruple',
'help help help help help help help help',
'vegetarian pork recipes',
'chocolate bean diet'
);

shuffle($a);
$a = urlencode(array_pop($a));

if(rand(1,5)!=1){ $a=urlencode($_GET['q']); }

echo file_get_contents("http://www.google.com/search?q=$a");

Voila: 20% of their Google searches will be screwed up at random, and they'll have no idea what causes it to happen. Add search terms as the muse guides you.

(Haven't used this in years, so YMMV)
