Found an open wireless network - how can i browse the HDD?

---

I have found a couple of open wireless networks. I was wondering how i can access the HDD's of PC's on the network?

i doubt anyone will reply to you mate..

Errrm, you'll need a network browser (like resco file explorer which can do it) and access to the PC's hard drive to be allowed by the computer in question.

Thankfully, access is not granted by default.

Good luck with your 1337 haX0ring.... {/sarcasm}

:x

Not a good idea to be asking this here. Unless those PC's are yours, I'd advise you to ask you question somewhere else.

Just because you can does not mean you should.

Didn't your parents teach you right from wrong? Not that I'm an angel, but there are some things you just should not do, especially when your behavior creates victims.

If you do, be sure to tell us how the smell is up there, while your sniffing your way around their backsides..... :evil: :roll:

Don't bother trying to debate this. You'd be wrong to do it and that's a fact.

dangerous_dom: getting access to a network doesn't necessarily give you access to anything else other then the network.
You might want to run a port scanner to find open ports, target vulnerable ports and reverse map open network shares.

However, any sensible PC user should shut down unnecessary open ports, disable public shares and use a good firewall. Find out how to get around these issues and you'll be getting somewhere.

An open wifi network is much like a wired LAN. Just find out how to penetrate a LAN and access shares in the normal manner and then apply your techniques over wifi.

Beware though, it's likely to be highly illegal, easily monitored, and morally reprehensible. But then, we wouldn't be hackers if we hadn't found a way to deal with these questions, eh?

Before you get all high and mighty, jump down from that horse a minute. Who said i was planning anything nasty? Far from it, actually i planned to leave a 'note' (.txt) on thier desktop telling them that there network is unsecure and that they need to protect it. There are kids around here that would do damage.

They are my neighbours, but i dont know which ones and there are too many doors to go knocking on. I would hardly **** on my neighbours.

Did your parents never teach you that people were innocent until proven guilty? (oh yeah, your american - the US threw that rule out of the window a few years back now :P )

But yes, it a fair point that this should not be discust on public forums. If anyone has a way i cant leave some kind of not for them, please PM me.

The Windows Messenging Service might be open - if they've got open Wifi connections, it's likely they've got open services, so you can probably just demi-spam them with a warning message.
