Internet, the new sugar?

Time to fire up Wireshark

What does that do?

What does that do?

It's a utility that allows you to monitor what they're viewing(sites...)

Screw what they are accessing on the internet, i'd be worried what they are accessing on your PC. First rule of security, keep everyone out. Thats why you have a password!

This. why are you paying for internet for the street? If you're going to let people use it, then why not just take the password off?

The kid next door came over and asked if him mom could have our wifi password to play Farmville. my old lady gave it to him.*facepalm*

Fixed that for you.

Got any XXX vids or pics on the pc of you and the Mrs? Well, now he does too!

It's quite an interesting tool.

That's ridiculous. The answer to that question is always a clear and decisive NO.

Change your password ASAP. It's easy, regardless of router you're using.. Just log into the damn router and go to Wireless Management tab > Wireless Security. Depending on firmware, it might path through Administration tab. So, you probably don't even know what type of encryption you're using either? By default, most routers come with WEP. Verizon sends out their POS MI424 with the SSID/pass labeled on the back. Oh, and while you're in there. Change the router's default username and password to something customized. You have no idea of the security risks when are handing out your SSID/pass, especially on a router set to default settings. If you had dd-wrt firmware, which is what I use, you could just run a site survey and deny his MAC address. Or even have fun with him by auto redirecting him to an undesirable website everytime he tries to log on.

People are liars and opportunist. This kid could easily take a laptop to any free wi-fi hotspot and "look for a job".

Just buy a switch that supports vlan's and get a second cheap router for your broke ass neighbors.

WEP is useless and so is MAC filtering.

If you want to be secure, set up WPA/WPA2-PSK with a long key.

Move out of the hood, or stop broadcasting your ssid.

I wasn't suggesting he used WEP. I'm just assuming his default security is WEP, since it appears he's never done changes to his router settings. Just primarily stating he needs to at least change the routers user/pass and his SSID password.

However, with dd-wrt firmware you can fairly successfully block MAC spoofing in the latest builds. The iptables command lines are almost limitless in dd-wrt. You could set your authentic LAN IP address to static, instead of being DHCP. Set up your Access Restriction filters based on those MAC address. Then you could create static ARP entries. Those usually cannot be overwritten. And you can also use iptables to log an IP vs. Port to see what's going on. It would be real hard for your average script kiddie to jump onto your home Wi-Fi even running OPEN/WEP with static ARP entries.
