Anti-Wifi Paint

[SovietSecrets]

Sounds interesting enough, but would you want to redecorate your building to keep people from leeching off your connection?

Why not just make a password? That works almost all of the time and you wouldn't have to resort to all of this.

Hmm now if the made it for cell phones in movie theaters...
Yes I would put it on myself. I hate someone getting a call in the wayyyy back right when the main character dies or something

I've never looked into how to leech a wireless connection, but as I understand it its pretty easy to spoof and break in.

Can the paint stop cell phone signals? Because all movie theaters and restraunts should be painted in it.

WEP Baby...

Or if you're really paranoid, WPA or MAC filtering.

Seeing as the nearest neighbor is waaaay down a hill and equally waaaay out of connection reach, there is no point for me to do that, but I agree with the theater phone-thing

Using it to block cellphone reception, what about emergency calls? And imagine the inconvenience of not being able to receive cellphone calls in your apartment or place of work. I'd sure be annoyed if a neighbor painted their place with the stuff and created dead zones in my unit...

I'm not an expert on the subject, but: Some encryption/security schemes are easy to break (they were secure when first conceived but have since been broken), and some are practically impossible to break (at present; may or may not be cracked in the future). If it matters to you if someone can get on your network, you should look into the differences between your wireless security settings.
