...How incredibly creative.

It's 100% unsecure, but I share the C: drive on all my rigs on it. Why? I'm so far from anywhere that you'd have to be parked in the turn circle outside my window to pick it up.

Pardon my ignorance DreadedOne509 but how did you shield your SSID?

i was gonna say hes not broadcasting but hesays that anyway, he could just mean the location of the box itself but only he knows for sure

Pwned

All of mine are set to "not public" so that would be hackers get the warning before I screw up there computer after I find them disobeying. Helps a lot, most just go elsewhere. BTW I live right next to a university and get "probed" a lot, the few that have tried to use my connection have paid the price, and I think they spread the word. That "not public" means just that.

It depends on which neighbors signal is better.


OH - you mean my own? MantaBase

Not very original - but hard to forget

Manta

OU812...

I recently made a few changes to my network added some 8 port hubs for future expansion....
Now if I have it set to public, it shows IMAhakr

Saw some kid in a Civic in my cul-de-sac a week or so ago the day after I changed it, looked like he was on a laptop. checked my log and sure enough he was trying to get in... luckily 128bit WEP prevented any unauthorized entry. Saw him leave 5 minutes after I switched it to nonpublic/hidden SSID. I do know theres a Motorola 54g (thats the SSID) in the area as well that my mo-in-law picks up on occasion and their shared pictures are.... interesting

2wire233 you know th 2wire wirelees modem and wireless routers are a pain in the ass to configure just to tell u know?

Mine is: UsTeAlUdIe

BigGeek

I mis-spoke. It is shielded in that it is a directional and has a parabolic shield further shielding from side to side and 'assisting' keeping the signal focused. From the side, above and below unless you are within about 10 ft of it you can't pick it up at all on a Canary. It limits where I can move around and get a signal, but I am a creature of habit so sit in the same spot 99.9% of the time.

My neighbhors who use wireless are entirely too close and using 802.11g also, so this setup reduces interferance greatly.

I installed a new router yesterday. My SSID is not-your-network.

mine are Halcyon and click here

Virus Central & Worm Food

Area51

:O

My SSID is : Can't hack this

goawayyouthievingb**ch


No one's hacked it yet (I check the DHCP log on the router rather often.)

Mine's not broadcasted, but: TWBalls

Yeah, not very creative. I only use it for my HTPC anyways.

excellent use of time
