Serious question. Have you ever had a neighbor try to tap into your home wi fi connection?
Yeah but I was in a real small town. There was only one house that was close enough to try and take advantage so I just knocked on the door and said "If you wanna use the wifi you're chipping in for the internet". Dude shrugged and said "Cheaper than getting my own". Ended up giving me $20 a month until he moved.
that is an interesting story. I never thought stuff like that happened
They happen with almost alarm regularity in small towns and given that's where I grew up and spent a huge chunk of my teen years, I've got a lot of weird ass stories. Made only more bizarre by being from an Island with it's own aggressively specific/unique culture.
That's been my experience too. In small towns, people talk and collaborate more with their neighbors and other residents of the town on matters that urban residents tend to be rigid with. It's like small-town people focus on the interpersonal relationship while urban people focus on rules and expectations. There's a sociological model that discusses it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeinschaft_and_Gesellschaft
I didn't think anything of it when I moved into this apartment, but when the modem had to be replaced the ISP worker handed me the new wifi password when he was done, and I'll be damned if it wasn't another 8 character long hexadecimal password. I couldn't believe it, they might as well not even have passwords. I decided i had to know if they were doing that to everyone in the complex. Luckily I also had around 30 high end videocards mining eth in the apartment. I switched a miner with 7 GPUs from mining to hashcat and had a little fun.
Please don't use 8 digit hexadecimal passwords for wifi, or anything really. It's like using a paperclip for a deadbolt
Once when I was jobless and staying with a friend, I put an old Linksys router on a 20 ft Ethernet cable and put it into client mode in the middle of the backyard to hop onto a neighbor’s network.
They only had dial-up (this was around the time cable internet just started becoming popular) so it truly sucked, but internet is internet.
