Kicking off a Wireless Client

Dew · Post by **Dew** » Mon May 07, 2007 9:48 pm

I'm not sure if I can ask this here or not due to the legality but on my campus we share this one access point and sometimes the connection just dies. I know this idiot who likes to download at least 50 torrents at once and I can always tell when he has his bittorent running because the rest of the building can't get online at all. The IT department on campus won't fix it because they don't give a shit, and why should they anyway?

Is there any way I can kick him off the network even if it is just temporarily? I don't have administrator rights on the access point but I can get into it on a user level and see the client list.

You and some friends could get his internal IP address and DDoS him. That or you could organize a mob

I just made a shortcut with "shutdown.exe -i" in it and I sent a request to shut down his IP address, seems to be much faster now. I wonder if it actually worked though, lol. I can't seem to ping his address and the program returned no errors.

This is the guide I used

It says I should only be able to shut down ones I have admin access to. Weird.

How does that work when you don't have admin access to?

He may have left his admin pass blank. Common practice amongst idiots.

I'm pretty sure now that didn't actually work. It's just way too simple. It probably only works on domain based networks if I had to guess.

Convince an EE student to build one of these.

What ever happened to using words to solve problems.

Oh, put lead around his room so he can't get a connection.

I talked to him and told him that running more than 4 torrents at once slows down the whole building as well as his downloads since you have all those torrents trying to make and maintain connections. Hopefully I got through to him.

If it doesn't work flood his connection and run a counter torrent. Then threaten to call the RIAA and MPAA if he doesn't stop.

That could be much easier said than done.

No it's not. That's a terrible idea because then he'll have a girlfriend that will want him to download Hallmark movies and Carrie Underwood CDs for her.
