The Angry Dieter

I was nice!

Let it be known, that on 08 April 2008, I the owner of this blog - discovered that my next door neighbour’s dlink router was unsecured, and broadcasting so I could seemlessly connect to her internet without thinking twice..

However, it was more of a pain in the ass, since my laptop kept logging into her router before it would log into mine. So really, I had no choice if I didn’t want to keep screwing around with the network settings so I could connect using my own wireless connection.

So.. I did the basic check, which dlink was it, did it want 192.168.1.1 or.. 10.1.1.1 - ended up being 10.1.1.1; nice time to have a wander inside the router, damn.. she has a better ATT than I do! Beeyotch! I noticed last night she was using dodo, so I wanted to see what her isp username was - and there it was - it was my nextdoor neighbour, and she had 3 other people using her connection. bwahaha.

So being the good neighbour I was, I knocked on her door. She answered it, it was late, and I’m like ‘hiiiii do you have adsl? did you get it connected recently?’ and she replied that she did, and she’d had it for ages. So I went in for the kill. ‘do you use a wireless router?’ Yes she does.. ‘Your router has no password, and I keep connecting to it accidently, and whilst I was connected, I logged in and you have 3 other people using your internet if you don’t own more than 1 computer’

Her face.. a sight to behold. “thank’s so much!!” she uttered as she basically slammed the door and you could hear her starting to have a go at her boyfriend.

I didn’t have the heart to tell her it’s been unsecured for more than a couple of weeks. Who knows who else has been using it. I did also tell her there were about 20 other wireless networks in the building, and hers was the only unsecured one.

That’s my good deed for the day..
