RE: Wireless Security (Part 2)

How do you propose making the intruder browse to your web page? Keep in
mind, the intruder can use whatever DNS server they want, not only the
one in your DHCP scope options. Also, what if the intruder has no
intention of using port 80 at all?

Kind Regards,
Scott Ramsdell

A few months back we had a discussion going about whether or not a
person who has setup a Wi-Fi network for their and their families use.
And IF someone illegally connects to said network if the person who
setup the network has the right to go into the other person's computer
to find out who they are. The consensus is/was that sadly no the person
who setup the Wi-Fi network doesn't have the right to go into the
intruder's computer to find out who they are.

What IF the person who sets up the Wi-Fi network has a web page, or a
dialog box that is displayed that says the following whenever a new
computer signs onto the network:

WARNING

You have connected to a PRIVATE COMPUTER NETWORK

IF you were NOT invited to join the network then leave now.
IF you continue to use the network, know that by doing so you consent to
having your computer inspected for the purpose of finding out who you
are so that the proper authorities can be notified.
IF you leave now no actions will be taken, but IF you continue then the
appropriate actions WILL be taken, you have been WARNED.
This is your ONLY warning, leave NOW.
Also know that along with your name your computers MAC address will also
be recorded, and blocked in the future.

If the above is setup as a web page then the capitalized words
would be in bold as well as red to catch the person's attention. Also
with the above they wouldn't be able to say that they weren't warned,
correct?
