Question on ResidentsInFree

[ss]

:??? Someone said: "ResidentsInFree: When you get to their sign up page, just skip it and surf. Works great." :O

Specifically, HOW is that done? Do you download the software and then just keep bypassing the signup? DUN it with a universal name and password (no software needed)? Please give a little more detail here.

I had GolfersInFree and it was great until it went to pay svc. If this works as well, it is worth adding to my collection.

Thanks!

recognizing the "line"
posted 1-9-2001 22:59


What is important to anyone who duns is to recognize the "line". Using the registration backdoor is an old, well known hackers' trick for penetrating a computer network. This is how some so-called "universal" duns are created.

But let's be clear here. Posting, allowing posts, or spreading the word through other forums is not helping other people when those posts give the details on how to commit a serious crime. Using a "universal" dun or any dun with a username other than one's own constitutes computer trespass. That is a Class A Felony punishable with a long prison term.

So, if someone cavalierly dismisses violating TOS's as fun and games, think again and recognize the "line" when the dun doesn't have your proper username.

I disagree with that statement. Only because some do have guest username and password to their free ISP. However, I think dunning someone else's username and password is wrong. Also, I would like to know if anybody knows of someone who has gotten into big trouble for Dunning a free ISP? I had a cousin who got kick out of AOL for something illegal. I never knew what he did, but it must have been serious to be ousted from AOL. :???

When reading about "guest" accounts, i wonder sometimes who really sets them up. If they are truly for guests, then certainly the user would need specific permission from the provider.

Of course, people have been arrested for "breaking into" computer networks. Maybe "universal duns" are somewhat like those illegal black boxes for cable or satellite that people were prosecuted for using, only "computer trespass" may be worse. From what i've read, "universal duns" may use the names of administrative accounts clearly not intended for general access.

Why would anyone enter a username or account that is not theirs? And why would anyone want to take the risk? It is definitely not worth $10/month.

My buddy at work has been suspended for a day on two occassions by AOL. Once for "punting" and once for "powerdriving". He is still a member though.
