I know somebody who is stealing cable internet from timewarner/roadrunner. He showed me that all it takes is a filter between the cable wire and the modem. I tried to coax him to just pay for rr because it is only $35/month. Is it possible for him to get caught with digital cable?

 

dude, that is so freakin lame...



















bum off your neighbor's wireless set up, dur

 

how can one go about surpassing the security code to get free wireless h: seriously h:

 

Seriously, is there a way that they can trace your IP or something to an adress that doesn't pay for cable internet?

 

Not if they dont have reasons to

 

they can trace the IP to there nearest hub station.. or to the MAC address of the modem being used. Hopfully the modem's Mac Address is not registered to him!

 

He said that he bought the cable modem from compusa.. so could they still catch him?

 

:insertbullshitflaghere:

I smell bullsh!t. h: A modem must be provisioned thru a provider before it will work on their system and on a specific node. You cannot just buy a modem and disconnect the high pass filter to get free internet. The system must have the serial number and mac address of your modem in order for it to properly send/receive.

Wireless is a different story. Anyone can piggyback off of a insecure access point without paying.

 

every connection is accounted for and can be traced.. but as JAE said... if they don't need to... they won't

 

In cali its a crime a (wobbler) to steal internet
