[TAG] One way of discouraging users from using your open WiFi AP

[Suramya Tomar]

Found this link while browsing the web... its kind of off topic but I 
think some of you might find this amusing:

What do you do when you find someone else stealing bandwidth from your 
wireless network and you don?t like it? You Lock it down correct? This 
person(http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pete) didn?t do that, he decided to 
have a little fun at the expense of the unauthorized user instead?

So he ran squid with a trivial redirector that downloads images, uses 
mogrify to turn them upside down and serves them out of it?s local 
webserver to the unauthorized user..

Check out http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pete/upside-down-ternet.html for 
some of the other stuff he tried to get rid of the uninvited guests...
