hacker ethics in $PRESENT_DAY, $PRESENT_TIME

I am still not sure what board does this discussion belong to but as I want to discuss moral element not a technical details of 'hacker culture' I decided to write it here. My train of thought began few weeks ago when I moved in to new apartment. I desperately needed internet connection but my internet subscription request was caught up in ISP's service queue and they only made vague promise that they will visit me within a month. With no easy way to connect to digital world, I decided to make compromise and snooped if there was any misconfigured AP with weak security. To my surprise I could not find single WEP enabled AP within two blocks but more than 90 percent of SSID was from wireless router of my ISP company. From experience I knew default WPA password of their router was random 8 character length hexadecimals (which translates to 2^32 search space) and could easily bruteforce password of one AP with strongest signal. Normally I would have stopped at that point and keep low profile on my theft but I was still pissed off by that particular ISP employee and decided to push further and recovered about 70% of passwords of APs in my apartment (or block). Testing random samples, it appears lot of devices connected to these routers are outdated, susceptible to various attacks and especially KRACK (prob because it's cracked windows). I am in very weird position where I can launch large scale exploitation scheme without relying on attacking router firmware or even infiltrating ISP with minimal exposure (as I will dispose of throwaway chromebook after this biz if it ever happens) to give clear message to ISP...or am I really? I never thought this kind of opportunity would ever visit my life and trying to think full implication and healthier direction of my choices but I am just not sure what it means to be 'technologically adept' in 2018.

>>7811 Rule 1. Never soykaf on your own door step. Cracking all your neighbors will not help you enjoy living in your new home. How many of your neighbors work for the ISP? How many routers were tripwire honeypots? How many neighbors are violent and know a smart IT friend who monitors their network? Rule 1 is Rule 1 for good reason.

>>7811 >to give clear message to ISP...or am I really? You're not going to hurt this ISP by breaking into random people's home networks. Even if they are customers. You're not alone though. The first thing I do when I move is hack everything in range. What you do next is down to your personal ethics though. For me I only actually do anything with my access if someone turns out to be a particularly soykafty neighbor. The thing is wifi leaves you very exposed. It's not a good idea to stay connected to someone else's network for long periods of time because your antenna is radiating in all directions from a single point. If you actually give someone a reason to come after you they can figure out where you physically are very easily.

From your ISP's point of view, you won't be anything but a child throwing a tantrum. You don't know the environment in which you're living, and frankly it feels like your plan has more downsides than upsides, being the first and last downside that you won't achieve soykaf with this. Also >>7812 speaks wisdom.

>>7812 rule 1 is rule 1 for a reason them peoples be crazy I tell you
