Well a six letter alphanumeric password in complete lowercase has over two billion combinations, even though brute force attacks will cycle through it pretty fast.

Leach other nearby non-passworded networks.

Seth, here's a solution:

1. Get a job
2. Move out of home
3. Surf all the internet you want

Of course with a job, school, responsibilities, commitments, etc. you won't actually have 4 hours a day to surf the net. Especially later on when you have kids, and spend your every waking moment worrying they're on the net all day and not studying.

:cool:

Yet you are really on the net more than the kids...

Yeah, until I was about 16 I was only allowed to play games on the computer for one hour a day. So no more whining.

Of course that was about 10 years ago...

Do you really think its wise to try to hack your dad's router? If my kid did that I would remove the privilige 100%, no questions asked. That would also warrant the belt. I'm sure there are some people out there gasping at that statement, but I assure you it's still legal and it still works.

That was the parent in me. The kid in me says:

get the router model and do a google search for 'hacking model numberx' and 'exploit model numberx'. If you can't hack it after that you probably shouldnt be trying to hack.

It's in my nature to appreciate a good display of deviousness in things, so part of me says that if you honestley believe that you can outsmart your father, then by all means, do it & i'll root for ya.

Now, another part of me wants to know if you are willing to take personal responsibility & accept the concequences of your actions if you fail & get caught.

There is no glory without risk, but there is also no action without a reaction.

...are you sure you can handle geting caught just as well as you can handle getting away with it?

just rhretorically curious...good luck:cool:

If he catches me, which is unlikely, I will take full responsibility.

And on the job front? Well, I'm trying, even went so far as to apply for sainsburies.

Only problem is, if I got a job, I would be working from 6 to 9:30/10 ish, the time when my internet is on.

That would = no more FL for me:(

My father things that the monitor is the computer.

So yes , like you can probly guess I don't have problems like that.

Anyway , it would not be a good idea to hack your dad. Just get a 6 at some random test or something like that and he will let you play more.

My solution is low tech.. it involves a hammer and the offending router...
