Rickrollternet!

[xjems]

Just because I am a huge dork, I decided instead of just password protecting my wireless I would make it open and mess with people.

I set up my own router on an old dell running debian, installed iptables, dhcp, and squid and got to work setting up the rickrollternet.
Also running our own dns from another machine in the house...

That is so totally awesome!! So, I haven't talked to you in a while. How is school going? I've decided to be a copycat, if you hadn't noticed. :-P

Thats awesome you found a program fit for you!

I'm going into the Informatics program next year at UW...just working on prereqs now. Kind of like you, I didn't think I would be happy in a traditional computer science program. Informatics is kind of like libraray science, computer science with some humanities mixed in for extra fun. =)

I am so glad to discover a hit for "rickrollternet" on google. We'll be implementing something similar, although it's probably a bit mean to those people who never realise that they're not on their own connection ;)

Sweet! I didn't think someone would search for rickrollternet =)

Thats the site where I got my idea from,although they do it *slightly* different. I actually ended up setting up iptables to filter by mac address instead of the whole two subnet thing... If a mac address isnt on the white list, then it gets sent through to squid. From there the possibilities are endless...

I don't see it as mean because it does say "rickrollternet" as the SSID.

Yeah, I've seen the upside-down-ternet. I hadn't realised that squid was flexible enough to be useful for this, though.

For some reason I always imagined that a honeypot should be called "default", but I guess it's funnier if they use "rickrollternet" and get caught out :)

While I'm on the subject, I'm thinking of faffing around with youtube's player to deliver a fullscreen, autoplaying, looping rickroll to the unwary surfer. I'm not sure if it'd be better to do it every time or really infrequently.

Well squid can call any number of scripts you've written, so you can do all kinds of fun things... In our case, a permanent re-direct gets sent to the browser, so someone has to clear their cache before the rickrolling ends... evil I know, but it is my network to do with as I please.

We use "random" numbers so that a person is only rickrolled every 3-4 clicks.
