I want payback!!!!!!! but I am kinda a . I used a program to find out the MAC of the person I would like to know who it is and where they live relative to me (if there's a program that can do that). If a program cannot do such a thing I would want to know how to acess there network because windows cannot detect it but the program can. I prefer to do this on windows using programs made by others, maybe I can see a picture of the person in a shared directory and might tell them to stop eating 30KBPS upload from me!

It sounds like you could use a good heaping portion of WLAN security advice. Have you considered posting this in the Wireless forum? It will likely get more knowledgable WiFi eyeballs on it.

Basics of WLAN security:
Don't broadcast SSID
Only allow listed MAC addresses to associate
Use some form of encryption for your traffic, either an IPSec tunnel, some form of SSL/SSH tunneling, or WEP as a last resort
If you use WEP, change your keys regularly (and make sure you use the maximum length secret)

Sure i can enable WEP and all but i like to have fun don't u ?

No there is no program which can do this - find out your wlans range - that will tell you how far away they can be.

You want us to advise you on how to hack their n/w?


So let me get this straight: you are running an insecure network, someone has happenend upon it and you now want them to be punished? Secure your network - while you are making plans for your unprovoked assault, the world+dog is on your network probably roaming through your files as we speak/type.

Also read the Rules esp. this part: Posts containing information about cracking.

You also posted a question about how to do this from Windows in a Linux forum.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.

sorry david about the duel posts i don't know how to delete my old post im kinda new
There IS a program that finds the MAC's for you on windows, it's 'air' something.... I am not cracking ANYTHING i want to make sure I know who this person is, as I live in aa small neighborhood and I also want to prevent them from accessing my network again I found someone taking packets from my computer ALL NIGHT

zetsui, you can't delete posts on this forum. If you would like a post moved then please use the "Report this post to a moderator" link and ask it to be moved.

Read the post by chort, it gives a concise list of things that you should look into with regard to securing your network.
