Daleko je najpopularnija tehnika tražila restorane i kafiće koji nude besplatni bežični pristup internetu. Prije pet godina ideja da bi svaki drugi objekt u zračnoj luci ili dolje zauzeta ulica ponudio besplatni bežični internet bio bi san. Većina je čitatelja imala malo poteškoća u ocjenjivanju besplatnog Wi-Fi mreže iz takvih objekata. David piše:
In addition to the aforementioned McDonalds, I would add Dennys, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Panera Bread, and of course lobbies of Hotels w/ free Wi-Fi.
Hisa je podijelila malo sreće da mnogi ljudi možda nisu svjesni:
I have a Sprint phone, and when all else fails, I just call to activate the hotspot, use it for as long as necessary, and then call to deactivate it. Sprint is great in that respect because I only pay for the meager amount I use, not the whole $29.99 package.
When free Wi-Fi is near, I snag it. My favorite hot spots are cafes, book stores, hotel lobbies, and fast food joints where I seem to end up anyway when I travel! Also, the convention centers I attend usually have a Wi-Fi option, and it is usually free. I don’t bother “looking” for Wi-Fi, I just let my iPad or my droid phone search for it, and when they find it, I enjoy it ^^
Nismo imali pojma da vam Sprint dopušta da aktivirate funkcionalnost hotspotova na temelju potrebe za korištenjem. Sigurno ih ne objavljuju. Možda bi drugi čitatelji mogli zvoniti s informacijama o svojim prijevoznicima?
Geoff nudi dva trikova, različite etičke i pravne snage:
A lot paid wireless systems right don’t check for mac address spoofing. These solutions are moderately evil and you should proceed with caution.
In Europe last summer I ran into a few interesting situations. 1. The airport I was at offered 15 minutes of internet for free. So if I changed my mac address every 15 minutes I could continue to use the internet as long as I needed. 2. Sometimes if your mac address just happens to be the same as someone who is legitimately connected to the network or you wait until they have left the network. The router will think that you are the person who paid for it. There is some pretty simple software you can get to scan a network then change your mac address to that of someone on the network allowing you to connect for free.
Dok je prva pametna, izbjeći ćemo drugu jednostavno zbog potencijalnih problema koje bi mogao uzrokovati legitimnom kupcu (bit će vam pravi jerk ako ste prouzročili da se račun realnog klijenta označi za pretjeranu upotrebu / dual logins zbog vaših MAC spoofing shenanigans).
