Is This STOMPer Stupid Or What?
Jun 6, 2008 Gossips, IT, Singapore
A STOMPer sended in a photo of a student sitting on bench using his laptop. According to the STOMPer, T3MUJ1N, the student “was stealing his wireless broadband bandwidth”.
Quoted from STOMP:
STOMPer T3MUJ1N says this man was “stealing” his wireless broadband access yesterday (June 6).Said the STOMPer:
“I saw this man “STEALING” Internet Access today, 5th June.
“I was afraid he might hack into mine, so turned the Broadcast feature off and restarted my router.
“To my surprise, he was on mine, as he turned to rage when he couldn’t access through it.
“He must be downloading then.”
I was surprised to see such dumb post on STOMP. Just by seeing the student sitting outside his house using laptop, the STOMPer can come to conclusion that the student is using his wireless broadband. This is laughable. I wonder how knowledgeable this STOMPer is in networking. First thing, how he ascertained that the student is surfing internet, using network? Did he know that there are services nowadays called wireless broadband provided by Starhub, SingNet and M1? How about Wireless@SG? He student could be using either 1 of the services couldn’t he? Secondly, isn’t changing SSID, password and not broadcasting it at the same time much more secure than just not broadcasting it? If I have already known the SSID, I can still hook onto the network even if it is not broadcasted. And, did he use any software to scan his network to find out the IPs and MAC address around? If not, how sure was he that the student is using “his”?
Last thing, isn’t the best thing for him to do is reporting it to the police if he is so sure, rather than posting on STOMP?

Youporn and RedTube Not Totally Blocked yet
Jun 2, 2008 Blogosphere, Gossips, Singapore
Recently there has been lots of talks about the 2 porn sites, Youporn and RedTube being blocked by Singapore local ISP. I myself talked about it, Hongkiat talked about it and how unprofessional the ISP is, and then DK’s latest entry about the loopholes being blocked. But then, I happened to found another “hole”……
I was reading forwarded mails from friends. Then I clicked on a link without much thinking and it led me to a clip on Youporn. I was surprised. I thought Youporn and RedTube are blocked already? No more loophole? Then I realized, I was on my MaxMobile network instead of my home SingNet ADSL network. I did a test by switching over to SingNet ADSL network. Dah dah, still BLOCKED! And I switched back to MaxMobile, it WORKS! MaxMobile users can try it out yourselves.
Ermmm, seems like the engineer at Starhub forgot about their mobile network…… So guys, 1 more advantage to sign up MaxMobile now! By the way, I am not in any way related to Starhub hoh, other than being their customer.
However, I do not know how long this gonna last. Enjoy while it is still around.
Also, anyone using SingNet Mobile network? Can you visit that 2 sites?
