I was at the airport, 2AM, waiting for the plane I was supposed to board to come from another airport... Got bored, scanned the WiFi networks, found an open network with the ID of the airline I had booked with, joined, and tried port 22 on the gateway... It was a Cisco router with the default password... Needless to say, I thought I needed to teach those guys a lesson... Messed the routing table, changed its IP, disabled DHCP, and restarted the router. Needless to say, we couldn't board because they couldn't check us in...

    'Teaching them a lesson' would've been changing the MOTD or something similarly harmless.
    What you did was illegally entering a system with destructive intent.
    People like you is why we can't have nice things.

    You fucked yourself and everyone else. You could have reported it instead of messing it up.

    @h4xx3r I don't know in what kind of shitty country you live but in European airports you will be thanked and receive a thank you gift.

    @h4xx3r security should not even come to you then. I've worked for a few airports in Italy as well and know the guidelines for these things.

    Ah come on everyone, To @FuckJava 's defense, That was not really a security violation, that was more like natural selection.

    @NeatNerdPrime unlawful access is illegal no matter what. If you forget to lock your car door that does not mean I can go sleep in it right?

    @NeatNerdPrime no. It's illegal and being a cunt. The fact people are defending this bush league shit is not ok

    This is the reason why people lose their shit whenever they see terminals in public

    I doubt I'd find an airline using an unprotected WiFi in a major American airport...

    So... You didn't leave a backdoor to get back in and fix it later?

    technically the act of getting into the router with the default password is illegal in itself in most countries, even if you don't *do* anything.

    So you delayed a buch of innocent passengers by a whole day. Some of them might have been in a hurry. Good job. /s
