Internet connection speed got slowed lately, that sounds normal to some people if their quota from ISP is reached. But that's not the case to me. It' unsual. So the house owner login to the router and guess what ? An unknown computer has connected (wireless) to the router and gain access to internet, also stealing our bandwidth... moron neighbours ! Well, it's not that we have unsecured wireless opened for public usage. It's just that somehow the router screwed up and lost the WEP configuration while I last reboot it, which is quite a while ago. Our wireless network has gone public without our notice.
Now the house owner has got WEP authentication up again and sealing up the "backdoor" for any unauthorized access. Well, if that moron is smart enough, he can [url=http://www.tomsnetworking.com/2005/05/10/how_to_crack_wep_/index.html]crack[/url] our WEP key and use our network as a reward for him (we didn't use MAC address filtering and the router's logging system is lame...hehe..)
Anyway, opening your wireless network as unsecured network which allows other people (or neighbours) to access the internet isn't really a bad thing too. You'll theoretically be able to share all of the music on P2P networks without worrying about an RIAA lawsuit.

In fact, this even had some people suggesting that, if you want to win a lawsuit from the RIAA, you're best off opening up your WiFi network to neighbors. It seems like this strategy might actually be working. Earlier this month the inability to prove who actually did the file sharing caused the RIAA to drop a case in Oklahoma and now it looks like the same defense has worked in a California case as well. In both cases, though, as soon as the RIAA realized the person was using this defense, they dropped the case, rather than lose it and set a precedent showing they really don't have the unequivocal evidence they claim they do.

In fact, there are people [url=http://dir.salon.com/story/tech/feature/2004/05/18/safe_and_insecure/index.html]purposely turned off the security to avoid trouble[/url]. What can I say ? Crazy world with crazy people having crazy ideas in their crazy mind... everything is possible !
The real-time rendered result...
