Explain to me why do Wi-Fi networks need passwords and what are the security risks of an open network.

No. Fucking... What?

How on earth couldn't you put this together yourself? No. I refuse to spoonfeed your ass.

You actually have no idea why having a password is a good idea? No idea at all? Just going to let people waltz right into your router and take your home network?

Jesus Christ. Come the fuck on Sup Forums.

Are you a fucking idiot? You don't want someone leeching off your Wi-Fi, using your bandwidth and slowing shit down, sniffing your network packets and getting your login details, going past your data cap, or gaining unauthorised access to your computers.

FUCK OFF

Dude you took that bait like a champ.

So your nigger beighbors don't steal your wifi and absolutely shit on your speeds.
That's the main point, besides security and all that

So your neighbours don't go on your network and use your connection to order cheeze pizza

>Explain to me why do Wi-Fi networks need passwords and what are the security risks of an open network.
OK, gimme the password to your bank account and save my gorilla friend the trouble of finding your IP, maggot.

I get it, you're retarded. You got me.

aaaa haaa I was so got. He got me, everybody!

I once opened my network and spied on a pajeet who was stealing my internet. It was kind of fun. I know he was a pajeet because all the websites he was visiting were in hindu.

Better turn on network discovery so I can acess your file system or infect you with what ever virus or Spyware I have

>muh le pajeet xd

Kek, spotted the street shitter.

Don't get mad pajeet

trips confirm pajeet must poo in loo

Open networks have security risks therefore the need passwords.

>do my homework for me
How about no?

No password required for my wired network though...

bc i don't want my precious bandwidth to go to cheapskates

POO IN WPA2

So suppose you leave your WiFi network open. I get in my car with a laptop, drive around and see your open WiFi network. I park the car, open my laptop, and start blatantly downloading a bunch of CP off the clear-net. Lock the computer, stash it under the seat, and go drink a coffee or something. I come back half an hour later and drive away with thousands of child abuse images. The site was a honeypot, and a few days later Agent Johnson asks your ISP for logs on who the fuck "this IP address" was leased to at the time. Of course, all the separate traffic originating from inside your network is (more or less) indistinguishable from the outside, and my burner laptop could just as wel havel been your smartphone.

So when the feds come-a-knocking with a battering ram and ready to spray heat-seeking pedo-killing assault-clip justice boolets, it's going to be at your house. And if your computers are completely clean, you won't get arrested (probably). But it'll still be one hell of a nasty experience and you're probably never getting those electronics back.

This is unlikely, but is certainly within the realms of possibility.

ITT: People think NAT== security

Nah bro, there's no reason to use a passwords. Don't listen to all the haters in this thread.

What is a guest network.
What is client isolation.

This fucking thread

well, it actually is security to a degree.

>What is a guest network.
A network guests access because they cant access the real one you dumb fuck

you aren't funny with inspect element user

>important something
what's so important user?

>people here worrying about bandwidth
I've had my networks at home and at work open for almost 3 years now and I've never had any sort of problem. In fact, it's more likely I slowed it down for anyone who's used it.

The same reason you lock your door(s) before you leave the house.

*hindi. The language is called Hindi. If you're gonna say you're so superior to the pajeets, at least get it right.
