Sponsor | | sjoukes | Feb 14, 9:09am | | I read somewhere else that it is happening in the US and France? (the ban)..I'm just in the middle of changing my IPS to a wireless connection....hope it's safe?..and is there any way to know if someone were to hack in and use your connection?... |

| | | italian-scallion | Feb 14, 9:14am | It is impossible to ban a person from the internet. Chances are in your apartment complex or neighborhood there are half a dozen open wireless connections available.
It doesn't require hacking; available networks are displayed and you either connect automatically or manually. |

Sponsor | | AlternaDad | Feb 14, 9:20am | As agreed on by the Masters of the Internet, there are several different ways to get permanently banned from the Internet.
The list is not strictly followed, and people are commonly banned just because the Masters of the Internet feel like it.
Getting banned from the Internet means getting your IP address removed, and your modem, computer, and any storage media that you have confiscated without trial. You will also lose your driver's license permanently, go to jail (...directly to jail! No passing go, no collecting $200), be forced to have a philosophical conversation with Neil Young, be slapped in the face with a Hello Kitty Vibrator, and cast into the outernet. Furthermore, you will be briefly sentenced to the 5th Layer of Hell, but only the part where goblins poke out your guts with spoons lubricated with mayonaise. |

Sponsor | | sjoukes | Feb 14, 9:22am | so a good password ...and your ok..I do hope this stuff turns out to be rubbish...it was fun with the torrents...only now and again
...when I was with tiscali..I had an email from them because downloading was not allowed during the hours of 6-11 pm otherwise they would threaten to slow you down during those times
I never meant banned from the internet..that would be impossible I know..what they are saying is that you would be cut off from your ISP...hence no internet connection ...you would have to keep obtaining different ISPs |

I would assume they'd be logical about it and implement a no-service ban database. Kinda like a no-fly list. Anybody on that list cannot get Internet access from any ISP. However, that'd take a few years for governments to implement and would not take anybody off the Internet permanently. Fon anyone?
>so a good password ...and your ok
Uhm, no. A good password, change it often, check your logs, WPA2, MAC filtering ... depends how paranoid you are or go in the opposite direction and share. |

|  csmagor | Mar 29, 3:25am | | Banning is set to come into force in Japan as well, I am not sure how heavily they will enforce it; but there idea incorporates a blacklist so you would not be able to get connected through any of the bigger carriers. |

|  Zephyr-The-Zeph | Mar 30, 7:00am | | 7,8: Both of those are, in some contexts, don't make you any safer, Traditional Wired Equivalency Policy (AKA, 70+% of all Protected wireless networks) are broken through a scheduling attack that essentially can predict the password (Length doesn't really help you much at all, It can take many half a second longer to compute the Hexedecimal key, But essentially ineffective) based on (thousands of) Initialization Vectors that are transmitted unconditionally and can be picked up by anybody. MAC spoofing is almost worthless unless you are just trying to protect against the subaverage Joe Blow. Same with disabling DHCP. WPA2 (BY itself) can likewise be compromised by Authentication/Deauthentication attacks, Which essentially happen every time you get on the internet, Somebody can sniff the authentication token you send, and can work out your password from there. I would say, If you serious about security (Or you work in a Data Storage company, Government Department, Secure Transactions etc.) then you want RADIUS( freeradius.org [freeradius.org] ) or a personal favorite if you run a semi-public network NoCat ( nocat.net [nocat.net] ) |
