Blocking IP's

[Narh]

Over the weekends I got an unwanted leech on my router, who decided to (illegally) download a bunch of movies. A total of 10Gigs downloaded (about 5 movies), Not alot, but enough to get Comcast on my *** about it. I've blocked the MAC address (00:11:22:33:44:55.. yadayada) and it worked for a bit, now they are back...

Wireless disabled
Firewall blocks all incoming and outgoing traffic, except my own
All MAC and IP address restricted except my own
26 character long alpha-numerical password

Router is a Linksys WRT54G (I have it running through a switch, if it makes a difference)

:facewall:
:cursing:

EDIT:
Ok, Figured it out (I think). Router kept resetting WAP2 algorithms to none instead of keeping them at TKPI+AES. Reset the router and setting are keeping. Lets see what happens.

You can turn off the broadcasting of your wifi address. But seeing how he got through the ip and mac block he could probably sniff out the signal.

Best would be to do what you already did and put in a 26+ password. No man would sit and wait to crack that on a home computer...

Also please please please change your router password from default... That is the first mistake people make when setting up there wifi.

I change it every month.

they were able to get on AFTER you restricted the mac address to JUST your computer??

go to his house and punch him in the face?..lol i dunno really i mean if he's cracking through secreuity that's technically illegal...if you leave it open you'd have no case...but hes making an effort to work around your PROTECTED internet access, you could get law involved if you know who it is

yes legally u can. falls under A LOT of charges. mainly invasion of privacy... i would conderider conspearsy of illegal downloads... the reason why i would need more hard core proff then 1 ip address due to the fact he will change it all the time when he hacks ur router again. the defence can clam u did it on another network ( just saying. i know u would not do that but defense lawyers come up whit the crazy crap to defend there client) sorry about ur problem i would get local law enforcment involed because u never know how many ppl he has heart until someone speaks up.
