What type of gamer are you?

Wow, you're from the archipelago islands? It must be beautiful out there... but sounds like a pain in butt when it comes to the interwebs lol

thanks!
yep Philippines is an archipelago with 7,000+ islands. Near the pacific, I think the beaches are what we have to offer. Boracay would be the most popular destination based on where the westerners go.


internet is a real pain. my American boss (who already lives here) rants about it a lot. Typical residential DSL connections only offer 1-2 MBPS. Commercial dsl connections from 5-15 MBPS which is somewhat out of reach for any average household... this is what I am using right now X___X



Speaking of games. I do download games online. But a 6gb game would take like 3-4 weeks to download. So something I just copy games from my friends with faster internet speeds xD Meet them during LAN parties... they bring their rig.. I bring an external hard drive! hahaha :P

I used to do this for years back when I had dial-up and I was stealing wifi.

hahahaha! stealing wifi is something common in europe and the US where internet speeds are good. A friend of mine from Greece do the same thing. He would download movies and tons of stuff from his neighbor's wifi signal hahaha. xD
even stolen wifi there was good and can reach 10+ MBPS.. Here, nobody shares wifi. Everybody here uses passwords. Besides, who would want to share a slow internet connection... you would want to HOG that for yourself xD
hahahaha.

[blackplague]

Sloooowly raises hand, lol i would be guilty of jacking wifi too... When i was younger and only had dial up and the neighbors had wifi oh yeah it was on like donkey kong when i found out what a usb netgear wifi piece would do lol

The connection was 1Mb Direcway (now known as Hughesnet) and I had a very large high gain antenna on my house to pick this dudes signal up. I used a laptop to hack the WEP password in his driveway when he was at work. All this so I wouldn't have to be on dial up. Thing is, my average download was somewhere around 40k/s but that was much faster then compared to the 2k/s I got on dial up. I don't condone to theft or anything, but just saying that ever since 2002 people have had passwords. I've lived in 4 apartment complexes all with passwords of some sort. Not like they keep me out lol.

hahahahaha! yes! I agree.. it's not like they don't have the necessary feature to keep outsiders out.... they just didn't apply that so everybody would be free to visit... like a mall.. hahahha

Oh mer lerd!!! That is horrendous! But at least you have beautiful beaches to frolic on lol

Do you have a sniffer for wifi that isn't broadcasted?

[PP Mguire]

hahahahaha! yes! I agree.. it's not like they don't have the necessary feature to keep outsiders out.... they just didn't apply that so everybody would be free to visit... like a mall.. hahahha

I was implying the signal wasn't open. I have only ever come across one signal that was open and there was internet there. That was at our first complex.

Yea, it's called Linux lol.

BackTrack is good. But if you want in, you have to get a supported WiFi adapter for packet injection.

There's also WireShark and inSSIDer for other network "tools"

BackTrack is really good and simple to use. And you can boot from cd/dvd disk with no install at all, or it used to be that way haven't messed with it for a while.

Hence why I said Linux. I keep my old Linksys G card around for a reason lol.

[ryandigweed]

Have used backtrack in the past alot. It's a wee bit confusing if it's your first time. And I was using a dlink dw110 or something

These days it takes less than 5 minutes worth of Google to figure out how to crack wifi. I keep mine disabled for this reason.
