Wow..15db, thats pretty damn good for just a pringles can. Im gonna have to play around with making some of these directional antennas. :D

Now thats a mod!

Too bad these people can't (the hackers) can't use that intelligence for good...

Of course, I can see them in an interview..

"What makes you think you'd make a good addition to our network security department?"

"Well, besides the fact that I hacked into your network last night, checked out your payroll, customer database, and employee information. Not much. Wanna see some printouts I got last night?"

or "I hacked into your network with my laptop and a Pringels can, hite me or next time I use a toaster"

yup thats pretty old about a month :p

nah, theres a guy here in california who lives at one end of a hill while there is a internet cafe on the other side of the hill. He cannot get broadband but the afe does.

So he made a antenna from a box of pringles put it on top of the hill. He then used wireless to get high speed internet access from the internet cafe which used wireless also. So he is getting free broadband from a box of pringles.

wouldnt that be nice, go into a store buy some pringles and wow free interenet in your hands :D

pretty crafty....

woah, here i was yesterday bitching about how i cna't afford DSL, and now like a sign from above i learn how to get free broadband. But damn, there are no businesses in my area that would even have net access, much less broadband. oh well.

With proper placement it works quite well. A "friend" who lives in the apartment complex next to a local public library leeches off their wireless network which is all connected to a lovely pair of full T1's. Indeed, if you are in a stationary location a properly mounted and positioned old Dish Network dish works quite well too. Of course doing this is at best is a legal gray area, attempt this only at your own hazard! In my area there are folk from the local college who "roam" on the weekends around the downtown looking for open wireless networks to leech stuff off P2P networks without paying an ISP. **The college IT guys have severly limited student bandwith and blocked most common P2P apps.**

I'm too far to leech anything, but i know the school network is full of wholes.. I just did an XP install o nthe laptop, an dthe guy connected to the network.. the funny thing is, you need TWO encryption keys to access, WinXP drivers only allow you to put in one, and i had none inserted. Go fig. Now, move to adifferent section, and no go.. Oh well.

Pringles..... haha tht is funny and inovative at the same time....... Pringles.... Once you pop, you can't stop....... oughta change that to ....once you hack, you woln't go back.
CMT :) :) :)

They'd have a hard time getting anything off my network, certainly after I installed my new Cheetos firewall.
