Default wireless

so my buddy says he can tell that someone is on his wireless because he can see their itunes library. He's going to put encryption on. Before he does though he wants to mess with the individual a little bit. how would he do this? nothing extreme just to make them aware that my friend knows that the individual is stealing my friend's internet connection.

It won't be easy, just re-name the network "No leeching" or something to that effect. He should have some type of encryption on anyway, if he wants any sort of privacy.

My friend was about to sign up decided not to when he noticed how many unsecure networks there were in his area. The first thing I told him to do was to turn off his itunes sharing. :hsugh:

Then I told him to get a gmail account so he could use the POP3 settings to use his Mac OS mail.

Why mess with somebody? It's your friend's own fault for having an unsecured network. It's as easy as setting a password.

I stole people's internet while I was at my cousins house too, just put a key, or change it. Who cares if they know, it's not going to stop them
