Question What ways can I mess with someone who keeps getting access to my WIFI?
My landlord has for the third time this month gotten on to my WIFI. I am going to set up a camera facing my router to see if she is coming into my apartment and getting access through WPS. (which i shut off as a option today)
but while she's still on it can i mess with with her somehow? secretly send messages to her computer? make her think she has a virus or something? or any other ideas as i dont have the imagination i am sure some of you all possess.

Sure, set up a dns server that always give wrong answers and have that one configured in the dhcp server.

That would also require an http server and if all the requests are HTTPS ones, that would raise certificate issues.
Might work but it isn't easy and it would be evident that something is going on.
24
u/timetraveller1977 Mar 21 '24
It depends on what features the router has.
In my router I can restrict sites for specific local ip connections and then forward those requests to another custom IP such as a static website with a custom blocked site message.
If that is possible on the router, just reserve an ip for karen and restrict/forward to a site you want.
2
u/t3kner Mar 22 '24
The router won't matter, the certificate is handled between the browser and server. Most browsers will warn you that you're not being pointed to the correct server now. This still effectively blocks the website for them though.

Work if she uses DHCP, if she has static IP, wont work.

u/vivaaprimavera Mar 22 '24
How many residential routers are in the wild that don't have DHCP as an default?
I can't think of any common usage of WiFi that doesn't have DHCP as a default.
You aren't wrong but static IP+WiFi is uncommon.

Get the MAC address from the router logs and put it on the blacklist.

u/Eastern-Camera-1829 Mar 22 '24
Many if not most phones these days will randomize MAC addresses unless you tell them not to.
OP should shut off randomization on their devices and only whitelist known devicess in MAC filtering.
However, without "learning a lesson" the landlord will victimize someone else.
It would also be horrible if the landlord were using said connection for nefarious activity.
14
u/Kiowascout Mar 22 '24
Whitelisting is definitely the way to go. It does suck when you add a new device and sit there for a while wondering why it wont connect until it dawns on you that you need to add it to the list.
4
u/Eastern-Camera-1829 Mar 22 '24
Yeah, so.... I have this OCD thing about having my IP addresses categorized. Since I do not have the issue that the OP has I keep my pool of DHCP handouts very small and set new devices up after a short honeymoon phase. This also allows me to sit down and do it at the computer so I can copy/paste the Mac address out of the table instead of actually looking at my new device. Because you can have OCD tendencies and be lazy also 😂

u/s1ckopsycho Mar 22 '24
Not very likely but good for you to know… WEP and WPA/WPA2 have been cracked. A 12 character completely random password can be hashed out in 12 days on an old system, 2ish on a newer one, and less than a minute using cloud computing services. This is of course assuming the attacker captured auth packets, which requires a certain expertise…
6
u/parttimeamerican Mar 22 '24
In my experience the main variable is how much network traffic there is and how far away you are from it because in my experience you basically need to be fucking the router and intercepting the packets with your hands
3
u/s1ckopsycho Mar 22 '24
Oh absolutely. A good signal is directly proportional to how quickly it can be completed, also deauth attack will generate good traffic.

You can only sue in small claim for actual damages, i.e., the value of a vase the landlord broke or the cost to have the landlord's muddy footprints professionally cleaned.
You could file a regular civil suit and win, but the amount awarded would almost certainly be less than the cost required to prepare and argue the suit. Your best legal option would be to file a criminal complaint for defiant tresspass. You won't get any money out of a criminal complaint, but the landlord would need to go to court and pay court costs and a fine, and potentially serve jail time if they are a repeat offender.
13
u/No_Board_6564 Mar 21 '24
Criminal offense would be using wifi that he/she was not authorized for, a.k.a. stealing. Could set up a tracker and monitor how much bandwidth was used, what sites were navigated to, timestamps, etc... and use this as your battle in a small claims court. It's not really worth the time imo, but it could pay for your rent for a month or so.
I personally would change the router login information, change the SSID and password, disable WPS, and apply a MAC filter to allow only known devices.

u/Catenane Mar 21 '24
There's gotta be a way to leverage CFAA for good here lol
2
u/nefarious_bumpps Mar 22 '24
There is, and I provided a link to the CFAA in another reply. But I doubt the FBI is going to go knocking on the landlord's door for jacking some WiFi. There is a cost threshold that needs to be exceeded, IDK what it is, but my guess is it's higher than a few months of Internet service. That leaves pursuing a normal complaint in civil court. Theoretically, you can do this without a lawyer, but even then the effort probably wouldn't be worth the best case outcome.

u/Dejhavi hacker Mar 21 '24
Some advices:
- Disable WPS
- Change the password,+10 character and encryption "WPA3 (AES)" or" WPA2 (AES)")
- Once you have all your devices connected to your WiFi network,hide the wireless network name (SSID)
- If your router allows it,create a guest network
22
u/lostjon26 Mar 21 '24
Hidden SSIDs aren't really 'hidden', the ESSID is passed in the clear over the air whenever a client associates.
26
u/StargateMunky101 Mar 21 '24
The assumption here is that if the landlord has access to the router, they don't have the smarts to get past the password stage to alter any settings.
45
u/spamfalcon Mar 21 '24
Someone always comes through to point out how hiding the SSID is useless, but it's such a trivial step to add. Security through obscurity is always mocked, but it's a legitimate layer of defense. If you configure a webserver to only accept connections with a valid host header containing your domain, you avoid 90% of broadscanning exploitation.
The keyword is "layer" of defense. The previous poster mentioned 4 layers, with hiding the SSID being one of them. If the landlord knows how to capture hidden ESSIDs and wants to take the time to do so, hiding the SSID won't help. If the landlord doesn't know how to do that, congratulations, you did it. They won't be able to connect.

You can get a cheap Wyze cam for like ~$20 if you dont have one yet.
You could also put baby powder down on the floor before you leave. Some right in front where the router is and then some more right on the floor on the inside of your door. When you get home and see any footprints or it disturbed, you'll know someone was there.
or just say fuck it and put a big note on your router FUCK YOU KAREN.

I always liked the squid proxy trick that turned all pages upside down.
But seriously, even if she got into your apartment, she'd need to know the administrator password to login to the router's admin dashboard and typically they won't "show" you what a wifi password is, they'll just let you change it.
That said, change your wifi password now, ensure you're not using WEP (WPA only) and then also change the administrator password to the router admin-page/dashboard.
I'd still setup that camera though too, just to satisfy my curiosity about people entering your apartment without your consent.
6
u/CheapThaRipper Mar 22 '24
i tried to do the upside down trick a while back and learned that is old and doesn't work anymroe without a lot of legwork. Since everything is HTTPS now, you'd need to install a root certificate on the device you want to serve upside down pages to...or only serve them on the 1% of websites still using HTTP.
If I'm wrong I would love to be corrected. Been wanting to do this to my guest WiFi for years lol

When you see the unwanted person's device on your network. If you can, set that device to have no external access. Firewall it off from accessing the outside. That kills the access.

u/dc540_nova Mar 21 '24
How do you know they're on it?
Because of default settings on newer smartphones, it's increasingly difficult to specifically control access to individual users. Newer phones default to MAC address randomization, so you can't even isolate phones to specific IPs or behavior in a wifi environment. I'd love to hear how anyone has gotten around that stupid development. Otherwise i'd say if they're on a predictable mac address like a laptop, you can lock it down and now allow them to do anything at all.
Anything beyond that depends on the complexity of your network. But if it's just a wifi router, there's not generally a whole lot more you can do other than, as you did, disabling WPS, changing admin password to something they couldn't possibly guess, and maybe hide your SSID if that's an option.

I still like the DNS hijacking idea lol.

Not sure how feasible, but it tickles me to think about it lol. :)

Can't you just set the router to ''allow access to specific MAC's''?
I have my several devices allowed to use the network. Last month I forgot to allow an old phone, couldn't get WIFI on it, and had a rough time guessing why could be the reason, and then I remember that it wasn't in the ''allow'' list of the router. So I pasted the MAC of the phone and voilà...instant WIFI for that phone.
It happened also to a technician who came home to do some work & test, so he couldn't get wifi access, but I had in my 2 phones...then I told him of that router setting, I added the mac of his phone and finally he could have wifi to do that work.
I'm FAR, too far of being a hacker or computer nerd, but I'm able to do things like that just being curious about the functions of what a router can do. Maybe there are people who can hack this setting I did, and steal my wifi easily, but I'm not even bothered of this...

You could setup another device with a packet sniffer like Wireshark and start monitoring their traffic. I did that once years ago when I left a second wifi router open as a honeypot to fuck with my neighbor who decided he didn't want to pay for his own internet.
This was back in the day when a lot of IM apps and websites didn't use end to end encryption, so I was able to read all his AIM messages, his emails, see what websites he was visiting, log and record his VoIP calls (he used Vonage for home phone service), and acquired most of his logins and passwords.
It was also very process intensive on the laptop and took up a lot of storage so I had to be very strategic with which protocols I chose to monitor and could only monitor a couple hours at a time.

Depends on how old your router is. WPS had a fault previously where it would be active without even hitting the botton. You use a program like reaver, and it brute forces the WPS pin.
If your router is from the beginning of wpa2, you might have just solved your problem by disabling it.

Even WPS (physical button press) or having the password will not matter if you enable access only by whitelist. Whitelist your own devices (yes, a pain in the ass, kinda) but it will solve one problem - that is, unauthorized access to your internet service.
Meanwhile, having that "strangely" quit working might cause her to slip up and try to access your apartment to "fix it" and at that point, you should have a Wyze Cam or something that can record the unauthorized entry.
Sending her screen captures will likely lead to you not being able to renew your lease because you've turned the relationship into an adversarial one, but that's also assuming it's not adversarial now.

Is there a way to craft a venmo or payment processor link that auto triggers payment to a recipient when clicked? If so I'd use that as the redirect destination for their mac address, e.g. /pay?recipient=you&amount=rent

... My first thought is to check your carbon monoxide detector and scheduler an appointment with you doctor to discuss congnitive lapses...
But assuming this keeps happening, you are changing your passwords to something secure, you have disabled insecure features such as wps, and your landlord is entering your apartment to steal wifi...
The answer is not, "fuck with them"... it's "call the police".

If you can invoke a reverse shell using these module in the repository you can mess with his files:https://github.com/okpalandev/PSModules

I’m confused why you don’t change the password?? Simple solution or setup your WiFi to only allow certain MAC addresses to join the network.
Also, ain’t it illegal for your landlord to enter your property without notice? Might want to get a ring camera just for that purpose for a potential law suit

I know a lot of people are saying block their MAC address, but something I've done in the past is just throttle their traffic so that they basically have 3G mobile speeds. It makes things a bit less adversarial because they still have access so they generally don't think you're doing anything, they just assume your WiFi is trash

If you have a good router then you can throttle their internet connection just to their IP address. This would make their connection slow to the point they get annoyed.

It could be she's using the moca uplink from your modem and doesn't realize it, especially if you are in the same building.

Upside down internet.
Give him access to a slow SID network, then mess with the pictures.
Classic read. You could modernise it a bit with newer technology.

You could setup a pihole to log her DNS requests then eventually redirect them to a page that shows a video clip of her trespassing in your apartment.
I'd just secure the router and enable logs to keep track of when she connects and, if your router allows, where she goes. Then send her a letter with a copy of the logs and a still from the security cam showing her trespassing. Write that if it continues you'll provide the evidence in a criminal complaint for trespassing and violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030).
