[Wizerzak]

[Thanatos Telos]

Works, but going to turn it off so then my neighbors can't leach.

there are Carts that distribute event special Nintendo Zones
(the cart at the Hyper Japan event in the UK was using a DSi XL)

I diddnt know this was even possible, sharing a station + running it on a DSi XL makes it even better

Hopefully one day these cards will be analysed and we could make our own?

I´ve changed the ssid name on my router and it worked.

To avoid let your internet open to all everyone, create a mac address permission list on your router wireless access control settings, and put every mac address of the devices that you own.

It's very easy to fake MAC addresses so I wouldn't rely on this exclusively. Personally if I was doing this I would limit having this running for only the times I wanted to look at the Nintendo Zone, and change it back to WPA2 with a strong password when not needing that.

 

[orangpelupa]

yes, but only easy if you know the whitelisted mac address.

 

[jamesaa]

yes, but only easy if you know the whitelisted mac address.

If you how to spoof a mac address you know how to see the mac addresses of any associated clients.

I've also found many routers whitelist their own mac address... So you can just use that if there are no associated clients to copy an address.

All mac filtering does is stop the average next door neighhbour using the connection, just like wep it does nothing for actual security - a five year old with a script file can get past it.

 

[orangpelupa]

i know how to spoof mac address but i dont know how to see mac address of ascociated client.
although i can see freely mac address, (i think by using NetStumbler?)

seems still more to learn for me.

 

[pelago]

yes, but only easy if you know the whitelisted mac address.

It's easy to find out MAC addresses by sniffing the network for a few minutes.

 

[orangpelupa]

but how to know the certain mac address is the one whitelisted?

"easy" is subjective.
not all people know how to do that. but yeah i agree, security by obscurity is not a good security.

 

[Wizerzak]

Your security doesn't always have to be good. I live in a nice area and I'm pretty certain that no one around here would steal my internet. The only reason I have security (which is only WEP) is to stop them from accidentally using it (laptops automatically connect to the strongest signal).

 

[orangpelupa]

ah.. i just tried with WPA2, as long as the wifi name is attwifi, it works.

Finally launched in Europe! Anyone found any wifi hotspot names yet??

 

[jimskeet2002]

Hey guys. Here in europe when I use my pc to access nintendo zone I get in the app but there I see Nintendo Zone coming soon and bottom screen shows what I can do with Nintendo Zone.

 

[IngeniousDefault]

Here are some SSIDs, but the japanese ones are locked, I think. -.-

I've had good results with "_The Cloud" and "free-hotspot.com" (from 3dbrew.org). "attwifi" seems to just take me to the old Coming Soon page.
