Is Someone Stealing My WiFi? - Comments Page 2

If you want to check if your neighbor is connected to your wifi, you have a very simple program to use. Wireless Network Watcher

You can download it from: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_network_watcher.html

I downloaded the trial version yesterday. Today I left for about 45 minutes, came back and YUP... WhoIsOnMyWifi caught one on my wifi. I shut down and unplugged the router.. gave it 15 minutes and rebooted. Nothing since.

I do have a couple of Net Watcher programs from Nirsoft and NEITHER of them caught this.

Blocking doesn't work on Windows 8. Wondering how long it will be before they come out with a version that Blocking Will work with W/8.

A nifty little tool that stands quietly by and picks up an intruder instantly. My Son was connecting all of his electronics, and every time he plugged something else in, the alert popped up immediately. You can set it to scan automatically from a minute up to an hour. It can also scan up to 32 devices. I enjoyed the article Mr. Rankin. Thank you.

my router keeps a list of all devices connected to it - or once connected to it - unless it is reset or rebooted. In other words, if you periodicly check your router by typing in your routers address into your browser and checking the device table. IF a stranger is there, or was there, his MAC address is listed so just go to the MAC filter and deny access to that computer.

I live in New York City and see vendors selling decoder which can crack open password protected wifi in seconds. Is there any method more secure than password?

I also agree with Ric's posting of 24 May 2013. http://www.softperfect.com/products/wifiguard/.
Just installed it and seems to work really great!
Thanks to you Bob,also,as I just got wifi and didnt know the dangers.

This article is frivolous. Learned nothing. "Protection" mentioned here is ridiculous, but I'm not going to give You details coz it could leave me without free inet.
Actually Im going to give You one advice: use Kali Linux. It has live DVD so you dont have to install it.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sorry you didn't learn. Hopefully with all your accumulated knowledge, you can become gainfully employed, and then you can afford to pay for an Internet connection, so others less fortunate can mooch off yours. How much does high-speed Internet cost in Serbia?
