Where's that wireless router hacking thread again...?

Addiction — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 09:48:13 -0800

OK, I'm a MeTa noob, but an avid MeFi reader and have contributed a handful of threads. I am looking for a thread within the last two weeks that may have been deleted/moved/whatever, and I cant find it. I have been looking for over an hour now. Does anyone know where that thread about altering the settings in your wireless router to make people attempting to steal a connection see all their pictures upside down? It was a neat read, and I actually wanted to look at it again for a semi related work project. Thanks, and again I'm sorry if this isn't where its supposed to be.

gonna have to find it to figure out why (if it was) deleted. They always give a reason for killing the MeFi post, see for example.
Lofi has all the posts from the blue, even ones that get d-listed. Unless someone can pinpoint it exactly continue to do your own sleuthing.

I don't think it was ever on MetaFilter. It was definitely on Lifehacker though.

That was on BoingBoing on 08/03/06, so that should narrow your searching. Or maybe you just saw it on BoingBoing?

Looking at the deleted thread blog, I cannot find any reference to that site. You sure it was on here?

I saw that somewhere else. It was a riot. You should post it to the front page addiction.

Agreed. If there was another thread about this, you'll know within five minutes.

This one wasn't actually deleted, though. It's missing the obvious "wifi" tag.

Cool, I had honestly thought I saw it here.

I get confused heh, and spend way too much time on the intarweb =/ Working as a sysadmin has its pluses and minuses. Thanks for the mention on the mefi thread too caddis :-)

Is there a blog that tracks deleted Ask.Me questions?
