- thrower123 5y agoFun with the public wifi that your Comcast-provided router or Amazon mesh network is making available to the world...
- sp332 5y agoComcast access points don't have a password on the wifi, but isn't there still a captive portal where you have to log in to your Comcast account before getting access? This might have changed during the pandemic actually, but they at least can differentiate the guest network.
- livueta 5y agoThose captive portals generally kind of suck; you can (or could, the last time I personally tried was pre-pandemic) get around them with mac spoofing or tunneling traffic over UDP 53/853. They'd have to keep long-lived NAT logs on the gateway to tell that the infringement was from the guest SSID. But I guess at that point you may as well just full-on wardrive it.
- sp332 5y agoData used on the guest SSID does not count toward the data cap. So wherever it's tracked, they have a way to keep logs, manage abuse, and send DMCA notifications.
- testesttest 5y agoLast time I checked (a year ago), after login, authentication was using MAC address and no encryption is used (not WPA or WPA2). You can easily sniff a MAC address and impersonate a device that is using xinfinty wifi.
