Alright Wardriving.

Okay, I'd like to say hello to everyone out there on Anti-Online. I am the noob.

First off let me discuss my problem, I fear that i have a wardriver that stops close to the wireless nextworks in and around my house, figures out how he can get in, and uses it freely whenever he pulls up in his car. If he sees anything suspicious he usually bolts out of site before we can even see him.

Okay, I'm the noob here, but can anyone tell me how i can get this guy off of my network? And if so how can my wireless network log any occurances of him? I'm tired of changing the passwords and the WEP keys, and i'd just like to see if I could ban him from the networks.

Thanks for the help, I'm happy to hear all suggestions.

Couch, you might want to elaborate a little more as to what kind of router you are using but, in any event, I believe most routers will record all wireless connections and the associated MAC address. The MAC address will look something like this : 00-11-86-7B-A8-96. A MAC address is a starting point to try an isolate this guy (as MAC addresses are a unique identifier for a computer). Problem being is that there are MAC spoofing apps out there so it depends how good this guy is.
If you're able to get his real MAC address, you can then block him using a MAC filter. Determining his real MAC vs. a Spoofed MAC is another story. Not to make matters worse, but , should this guy be very determined, he can "sniff" your wireless traffic and find legit MAC addresses connecting to your router and mimic those.
Listen, I don't want to make you panic. My suggestion is this -
1) Determine the MAC address of everything that's going to be connecting to your router (your PC, Printer etc.)
2) Enable MAC filtering based on those MAC addresses
3) Limit the amount of IP's your router will hand out based on how many computers/printers are connecting to your router.
4) If you have WPA-PSK available on your router , I'd suggest switching to that for encryption.
5) Watch your connection logs

*p.s. - Don't let all this overwhelm you. If you don't know how to work anything I suggested, just ask. That's what we're here for ;)

Thank you shag for the help. I will do the best I can.

you know Couch, I was thinking of something that might be more along the lines of a psychological attack. Maybe even funny if it works. You say that the guy drives into your area but bolts if he sees anything shady. I was wondering if you knew the year/make/model of his car. If you do, you can rename your SSID (this is what broadcasts into the wide open , it's your network "name") to something like "99 Honda Accord, Watching You", or something stupid along those lines that would let him know you're on to his antics. It might be just enough of a psychological egde to make him go hunting elsewhere. I've never tried it but who knows :D

Or maybe if he's connected to your network you could try.

c:\>net send * This is the <insert city/county> police please step out of the vehicle and place your hands on the hood of the car.

You could try using AirSnare if you are running Windows to let him know you are watching. :)

You could also use ettercap to arp poision your own router and capture his traffic directly. These captures can be used as log files that you could provide your local officals with.
Personally I would just block outside mac addresses at the router, encrypt the router, and turn off the ssid broadcast, and be done with it.

That made my day :)

you could use a pellet gun, or a paint ball gun or maybe nails on the road. I remember the last time someone Pizzed me off I shot his car up with a high powered bebe gun. He had one of those fast and furious cars. not fast enough for my bullets. No but on a more serious note, move the wireless farther away from the road. enable mac for only your mac address. some have a function to where you can turn down the power that its pushing out. I take it you have a laptop, so go out side and see the distance you get on your wireless before it drops off.

Change passwords on router and computers.
Enable wep to the fullest
enable Mac filters
Close any ports u might have open.
install firewall.
unshare your stuff
and refer back to the first part of my post.

Laying the smack down is always my first idea, thats why my boss is sending me to anger management. LOL

toooooo funny! LOL.

The sad thing is, is that i do have a paintball gun. I do not want to use it though, because i'm afraid i could get charged with something if i shoot his windshield full of paintballs. But, you've tempted me to do so... :p

Ahh, unloading a hopper full of paint on his car is definitely satisfying and trust me, the paint washes off - and yes, I do know from personal experience :D

Seriously, you need to configure the WEP/WPA security settings on your wireless equipment -
Ghost_25inf gives you a pretty good start. Let us know if you need some help in the right direction with those security settings....

I know from personal experince that you can and will get prosecuted for assult if you shoot your paint ball gun at his car and he knows it was you. I would suggest a more ninja styled approach. Ever tried a Drano balloon? takes paint off of cars faster than anything save powerful acids. Reminds me of the time my firends and i hid in the woods while launching drano balloons at the local Car Max with a three man sling shot. now THAT is atisfying,

For your typical war driver looking for a free ride, this would be enough of a deterent. However, a determined war driver could bypass all of your security measures with a decent wireless sniffer & MAC spoofing program.
Even with encryption, a wireless sniffer can watch for the "4-Way Handshake" in which legit MAC's can be seen. The cracker can then mimic a legit MAC address and connect to your network provided he/she can guess your passphrase or aquire it through brute force methods. Also, disabling the SSID is only "security through obscurity". I would agree with everything you said but in addition, is to make sure you use WPA-PSK and a complex passphrase or WPA with a RADIUS server.

A more low tech approach. you know those silver cardboard squares they put on top of the foil carry out containers at restaurants? You can put those around your antennae to aim it. Figure out if it's possible to aim your WiFi signal away from the road. This way he doesn't get service and you get better service on the interior of your home.

That or you can spend some mula to get the WiFi proof paint, but that stuff is expensive.

What if you call the cops and tell them someone is stauking you. I know if you tell them that someone is attempting to hack you, they would tell you its not there problem but if you are a kid and this is an older guy tell the cops this freak is stauking u and you are afraid he is going to do something to you. Before you know it the cops will stake out the place and catch him the next time he shows face. This wouldnt be lieing because you have no idea what he is up to.

I remember once me and my friend moved his web browser shortcut to a folder, and replaced it with a batch file that said "Windows was unable to run this application due to too much Porn on the system" His expression was priceless.

Just thought I'd share ;)

I had a similar situation in which someone kept using my WiFI. I configured an old computer to emulate an access point and then used ettercap (http://ettercap.sourceforge.net) to replace all the images of web pages accessed through that access point with the "TubGirl" pic. I haven't seen them on my network since. LOL
