    If you are an IT person... it would be a good idea to read the law.
    That, essentially, was my point to him.

    I'm sure that the management of the establishment (which from his description appears to be clueless) either hasn't noticed or has called in their IT consultant (owner's nephew or something like that, from the sounds of it) to undo it. And no harm was intended. So no harm, no foul.

    It's just the principle of the thing. Even if it's ethical hacking, IMHO, it's still hacking.

    Way back in the day I had a server 2000 hacked and turned into a distribution point for cracked DVDs.

    Considering the activity on the server, I contacted the FBI computer crimes division in Chicago. The conversations I had with them were chilling.

    Essentially if your IP or MAC address ends up associated with a computer crime it can become very inconvenient. Especially if it's a child porn or national security issue.

    I do not advocate for "white hat hacking". Though if someone wants to engage in that kind of activity they should at least use an onion routing arraignment (TOR/I2P). But messing with a router in a hotel... not a good idea. You're logged. Along with every other idiot in the hotel.

    In short.... NEVER do anything on a network without an affirmative defense. When hired for penetration testing, get a signed authorization for the work, make sure the organization who hired you has the authority for such testing, and document document document.

    Upgrading router firmware in a hotel on a lark- if stoopit.

    My apologies. I didn't read the post correctly the first time, or second for that matter. I didn't get that the router was owned by the hotel, and since it was, I would have to retract my original position.

    I suppose that's why I'm not an IT guy.

    Fhwew
    Well shit, apparently I don't know squat. Please ignore me on this topic. And I don't know how to spell Michaels name either. I didn't read it correctly either the first time so yes, I guess it is hacking.

    Im going away now....
