:rolleyes: @ Jeff…..

Of course it’s a “hack”! That’s like saying using a brute force hacking tool isn’t “hacking” because it’s doing all the work….

The fact he got in has nothing to do with the tool, the tool just made his life easier. The reason he was able to hack in was because the gobshites left a gapping hole in how they generated the WEP keys.

You could work out the key with a piece of paper….

Ronan, have you tried connecting to the Eircom box with the wireless security turned off? If you connect via a network cable and turn off the security and see if you can connect wirelessly then. Shows if the wireless is working properly and then. From what you wrote, I would agree with Tom Doyle.

Hey silver, not really a hack as it’s all done for ya buddy, it would be if it had decent security and you accomplished this on your own merit. It’s down to the guys that wrote the program…..not the user. Enjoy though

Always use WPA and change the SSID.
Not hack proof but It’s at least more secure then WEP & a default SSID.

I can’t believe the amount of people in my neighborhood who have unsecured open wifi … lol
