Great Giz Ideas: Harass Your Neighbours With Your Wi-Fi Hotspot Name
Posted by Jason Chen at 7:00 AM on July 3, 2008

We were setting up our wireless router in this our new house when we made a startling realisation. Our wireless hotspot doesn't need to be limited to boring names like LinksysN or 2Wire1969, they can be messages to our neighbours that they see every time they connect to their router. Here are some that our crack team of jerks have come up with.
• YourDaughterIsAWhore
• KeepThatNoiseDown
• ThosePeopleIn1583LookLikeTerrorists
• ThatLawnChairIsSoAwful
• YourWifeCheats
• FreePornography
• IHaveYourMail
• IPoisonedYourDog
• IPoisonedYourKid
• YourPriusSucks
• GetYourOwnDSLCheapskate
• MyNetworkIsLockedJackass
• ISawYouNaked
We're sure you can think of much better ones.

So many too choose from ... but I guess I'll add my two cents. I called mine "FreePorn". Not as offensive as some listed here, but I hoped I'd get a bite from a WLAN trawler.

I know it's childish, but I had a neighbor who was using my wireless (with my permission), and when he became a complete douche, I changed the WEP key to lock him out and then changed the SSID to 'EatShit'. I think he got the point.

What i do when my neighbors use my wifi is, because i use a mac and so do they, i screenshare (aka remote desktop) and i delete important folders and documents, one time they kept using my wifi after i confronted them about it, so i installed boot camp on there computer, using screen sharing and gave them like 500mb of free space left on there leopard partition.

The key is actually to jump on to one of your neighbors unsecured AP's check their browsing history on their non-password protected C$ and rename your access point to the last "no one should know" p0rn site... something like....

someone's WiFi was a little too near me and kept interfering with my signals and was totally open...so, it got changed to
Eek! A Penis Eeek! (I had just watched that episode)
I also changed their channel, removed their connection to their ISP and some other surprises >:) I'm a bastard, I know. But when you live in a crowded apartment building across the street from another crowded apartment building and 90% of the wifi networks you see are G networks spamming channel 6, you'd get a little frustrated too

My SSID was 'motherfucker' for quite some time.. I wasn't really trying to harass the neighbors, I just thought it was kind of funny because I'm occasionally immature like that.
I never got a complaint, but now that I think about it I could totally envision some angry mother looking for whose wireless is called "motherfucker" because she's afraid her little kid might see it on the computer.

I used to live next to a frat house and those dumb shits had three different routers in the house and none of them were secured...
Anyway I ended up deciding to prank them after I caught one of them peeing on my car (he was so drunk he probably didn't even know he was peeing, so I didn't hold it against him personally). IIRC I wound up naming their three routers "[greek abbrv]s are all cum dumpsters", "[greek abbrv]: Doing one another in the butt since [founded date]" and "Call[their phone#]forahotgaycockfestivaldayornight".
I don't have a problem with homosexuality personally, I just knew that being a frat nothing would piss them off more than insinuating they were homos...
The icing on the cake however was when I was messing with the third router I realized it was connected to a NAS which I managed to get into (cuz its settings were also completely unsecured/default pw), I was going to overwrite everything with porn but they probably would have appreciated that; so I just formatted it and jacked up all of its settings so it didn't work any more... (all they had on it was a database of past exams from the local college, which they probably had hard-copies of; oh yes I kept a copy of that for myself.)
I don't transmit the SSID on my router, but if I did it would definitely be "DEAmobilesurveillance47" because I know of at least 3 full-time drug dealers within a block of where I presently live...

Umm...were you in fact playing your music loud enough that a neighbor could plainly hear it? If you answer "yes", it doesn't matter if you were playing Mantovani, you were being the self-centered jerk. Just because you want to party at 11:00 PM on a Friday night does not mean your neighbor has the same schedule or desire to hear your music. Yeah.

@mcdonnr: "...but, no, it wasn't very loud at all."
So...umm...how did she even know you were playing music? Oh, that's right, she could hear it. Hmm...
The police behavior you describe is, in my admittedly limited experience, completely normal for a noise disturbance call; their decision not to give you a ticket or issue a warning citation does not necessarily mean you were "in the right". That is, unless the music/noise/whatever is truly and overtly over-the-top too loud, police will simply say something like "we've had a complaint about your music, could you please turn it down a bit, thanks, and have a good evening". The police don't want a fight. They don't want to criminalize you needlessly. And they don't want unwarranted paperwork. They just want people to be reasonable and respectful so that they can get back to more pressing police issues.
Now, if the police did in fact not ask you to turn down your music, that the level that was playing when they arrived (and presumably was the same volume level that had been playing when the neighbor made the call) seemed acceptable to them with no need to intervene, then I stand corrected. And if that was in fact how it played out and you were not asked to turn down your music, then your neighbor would truly be "the lady with a bug up her ass" who attempted to abridge your rights. So, honestly, which way did it actually come down? Did the police ask you to turn down your music, yes or no?
@mcdonnr: "I love how a good, subject-related anecdote turns into "you're an asshole" time."
If you're going to bring up a personal anecdote (and you are the person who brought it up) to justify "how totally deserving your neighbor is of having their door hypothetically pissed on", be prepared for people to discuss and/or assess the validity of your anecdote. Otherwise, don't share your anecdote.
