I submitted this for news but it's not really new so I thought I would post it here.

Here is a way that you can use linux to mess around with people who are stealing your wireless. It may look kind of confusing but seeing the pictures of it in action makes it worth the trouble. Sounds like an awesome april fools joke to me.

nice. that could really come in handy...

Well its based off MAC adresses which isnt really a great idea since that can be spoofed.

You could just password your wireless access point

True, but then you couldn't mess with people who connect because they see is it protected and not one that they can connect to and use to download all their music and porn.

This is a great way to screw some stupid WiFi leechers. They may thought that their system have problems and will probably waste time formatting their computers over and over again.

its kewl so it deserves front page!

Now to see if the same thing can be done from a windows box.
