Hehe, I’ve been stealing internet from my high-density housing (slums) neighbours for years, As of writing, I’m getting 9 signals, 8 of which are easily accesible. I think I’ll download every scrubs episode tonight. XD

I didn’t read all the comments, so I hope I’m not repeating anyone else, but I plan to make sure myself and anyone else I know ends any contract they have with eircom and changes to a new provider. Ireland is usually the last place for interesting/controversial stuff of a tech nature to happen, cause we’re usually a bit behind, but this is a disgrace!

I’m from Ireland and my ISP is eircom. Could somebody please tell me a way to bypass Eircom’s restrictions so that I can download torrents undetected.
Would Kommute(http://kommute.sourceforge.net/) work?
I really dont want to have to pay for a VPN service or similiar. If I wanted to pay for torrents I would just buy the music in the first place.
Thanks for your help.

Eircom is the only ISP in the world to totally pull down their pants and assume the position for the music industry.

@19 again noob alert, if you actually read what i said, “Your talking crap about WPA2, aslong as you have a strong passphrase” and, okay some WEP’s take senconds others can take like 10 mins, does it really matter in that sort of time scale?

Even if they change it, people will already have the wep key. Wep is so easy to crack, I can do it in a few mins. WPA is crackable too. Ethernet is secure, use that. Or WPA2

you dont even need an app to get into the eircom routers. just go here and enter the ssid

@18 noob alert. Obviously you dont frequent enough hotels now do you. tosspot. Nothing is impossible it is only a matter of how much time it takes. a long time or a short time.
And hey noob, wep can be cracked in seconds not minutes and if your beloved passphrase bound to your wpa2 is straight from the dictionary, then, houston we have a problem.

@16

Your talking crap about WPA2, aslong as you have a strong passphrase its impossible to hack, the closest it been to is cracking the upstream chyper using GPU computing and a specialist peice of kit. Even with this you cant use the connection. It uses AES packet encryption. Also how can you tell a computer to foward traffic to you (pretend router) if you dont know what its sending and dont have the encryption keys. What a suprise you are talking out of your arse. WEP by no means is still easily hackable in minutes 64 bit, 128bit take your pick….

2 things spring to mind here.
1. If the customer is always right and you tell the ISP ” no it wasn’t me ” is the ISP not responsible to prove beyond reasonable doubt that it was indeed you. i.e. be allowed access to the software being used to track you. It surely must be the only way to tell if it is indeed an accurate accusation or not.
2. When someone is accused, why dont they bring their router and pc to the ISP / police / media monkeys and say search my stuff.

And lastly the maker of the wireless router should be in court, because they supplied an insecure device to you in the first place. So don’t be fooled into thinking that wpa2 will save your bacon cause that only takes a little longer to crack with a few dictionaries at hand or becoming the router itself and routing all traffic through the attackers box.
Peeps will say, yeah thats it get someone else into trouble to get what you want!!!! Yeah then take all your gear to the local copshop and say prove it was me and not someone else and no officer my antivirus / rootkit software did not detect the trojan you found on my system:P
As cracking wireless becomes a 1 click solution then abuse is bound to happen and the games will commence.

Most downloading is done either at college or in student accommodation both of which have communal broadband. Id like to see how that one works out for eircom…..

Do any music industry management people have eircom connections? I would like to find out their IP addresses!
