How do I implant a virus...

[swerve]

I use MOBILE internet with my Motorola Droid Razr...

4G LTE with Verizon...

And I'm in a DIFFERENT city EVERY night...

In SOME towns -- especially the SMALLER ones -- I have people CONSTANTLY trying to access my internet -- OVER and OVER (almost automatically)...

The PROBLEM is -- that IN these small towns, my internet isn't very good to BEGIN with -- and EVERY TIME someone TRIES to access MY internet, it stops my streaming video on my ROKU player -- making it ALMOST impossible to watch Hulu, Netflix, etc...

My phone ALERTS me to the fact that others are TRYING to connect -- and it even gives me the OPTION to CONNECT with the "unknown" 3rd party...

So -- I'm thinking that there HAS to be a way -- to ALLOW the connection -- THEN, HIT the 3rd party with a VIRUS...

NOTHING MEAN where it damages their computer or anything -- just SOMETHING so that THEIR computer NO LONGER SEES my internet as a VIABLE connection...

ANY ideas???

THANKS!!!

pretty sure thats against the law

Can't you put a password on it so nobody tries to access it? They must be accessing it cause it must not be password protected.

The Razr, it seems, has lots of issues with it's wifi tethering capabilities.

A quick scout around shows people say good things about an Android Market app called "Foxfi", which provides far more tethering options to the Razr. Perhaps it will allow you to limit device access, hide your network, or block unwanted attempts to connect?

It IS password protected -- but even someone TRYING to connect STILL upsets the connection when it isn't strong...

It CURRENTLY runs as an OPEN (but password protected) network...

I will DEFINITELY look into that APP...

It seems like a MUCH EASIER fix...

Thanks Andy!!!

I checked out Foxfi...

And -- UNFORTUNATELY -- it is for those that DO NOT buy the HOTSPOT -- but want one anyways...

Although I understand the justifications people go through to USE these kind of work arounds...

I PREFER to be ABOVE BOARD -- and I actually DO HAVE (and pay for) the Verizon Hot Spot...

So...

That won't work...

IS my ORIGINAL idea VIABLE???

If you prefer to be above board, you probably don't want to go putting illegal malware on people's computers. Besides, what you're proposing is probably impossible.

You're approaching this from the wrong angle. The problem isn't opportunists trying to steal your wifi, the problem is your device disconnecting you from your network when they try!

Have you called Verizon support? It's possible there's an easy fix - perhaps just turning off connect notifications will solve the problem?

Two options for you:

1) disable SSID broadcast and manually enter it to connect
2) purchase a stand-alone hot spot from verizon that connects directly to the computer - if they still make them.

Ahhh....

OPTION 1 SHOULD actually work...

Now I just need to get ALL of the codes for the THREE devices that I have that utilize the network!!!

 

[looseliam]

You don't need anything from the devices. As long as they were all once configured to access the AP, they should still connect with SSID broadcast disabled.
