Re: I'm getting tired of this... said by Middieman:Secure your system. (Or don't complain.) -=[Middie]=- Can I complain if someone else on my node does not secure their system and a wardriver downloads a worm into their network and nails everyone on the node, resulting in 1/5th the normal download speeds and constantly having to clear crap off my computer?
My system was as secured as I was allowed to secure it. Is it only the fault of the person who left the AP open? Or does the wardriver take any of the blame for downloading the worm (with no knowledge if it was on purpose or intentional)?
These types of compromises are the main concern for wifi freeloading, not small streams of bandwidth.

| If you were so smart that your system was secured, this wouldn't be an issue. Even if it was, do you REALLY think that a smart hacker would crack your system and be stupid enough to not know he/she had a worm on their system? What happen if the sky fell? What happened if I woke up tomorrow with a Boeing 747 barrelling down towards my house? What if...? |
