WTF - One of our neighbors set up their SSID with a disgustingly racist name

[aphex]

Yet the assholes forgot to secure their network.

I'd really rather not repeat what it says, but its bad.

Other than the SSID, i have no idea who they are.

 

[sjwaste]

Hell, if they're too dumb to secure it, go ahead and mac filter their own pc's from it.

Why do you think you have the right to mess with their stuff? That makes you a criminal. Just remember they have just as much right to use a racist name as you have to be offended. Get over yourself. This doesn't change your daily life. Laugh at them and leave it at that.

I had neighbors with "WhitePower" as their SSID.

I had a friend who snooped his neighbor's connection. He even upgraded their firmware in the process of using their setup. But this is technically illegal, so ignore it.

change the SSID to Epic Fail of OMGWTFBBQSAUCE, people who don't secure their wireless network probably don't know how to change it back only knew they could set it initially because it asked in the setup wizard.

Quoted for truth. Racist comments aren't illegal. Accessing networks (even unsecured) without permission is.

Why even get worked up about it and post it here? Life is too short. You laugh at the idiots and enjoy your life because stupidity has momentum you are never going to curtail.

i saw that as a mischievous
just say the name of the SSID - you're allowed to use curse words and anything on ATOT now

Log into the router, change the SSID settings, lock out all their PCs, and show them what's up.

Something tells me all the little pansies suggesting such actions are too meek and afraid to do anything like this in real life. I bet you are all pushovers when you step away from the computer. Sad that your e-peener is the only way you can get off.

 

[The Stigenator]

go ahead, change the SSID, change the password and setup a backdoor!
enjoy!

 

[amdskip]

Or you could just send a comment to a printer on their network if one is available.

 

[02ranger]

I can't help but wonder what the SSID is. It's driving me nuts. Tell US!!!!!!

I've done it before, it's not that hard. Most people don't realize what happens and go about their business. If I was him I would change the SSID name and leave it at that. You don't have to go to the extreme of locking out their PCs but show them that it's not cool to put names like that someone may get offended.

And your little reply doesn't deserve a response. You go ahead and think what you want about people.

I named my network 'RIAA', don't think anyone has tried to connect to it
