question about security that isn't in the faq okay, my PC has a wireless card installed which feeds off my dad's router which is connected to a different computer. could a malicious user hack into my dad's computer through limewire if I have it, or would it still be on me? also, since my dad's computer is the same IP as my computer, could people acess his files as well as mine? I need to know this because my dad doesn't want people messing with his computer. |
If they hacked into your dads computer, it would be be because of his poor security setup on his wireless network, and would be done from your local area, (ie from within a few hundred metres) not through limewire. This is quite common, I have a mate whom lives in a high rise, he has several unprotected wireless networks he is able to connect to, mainly just leaches their internet. |
okay alright, but would limewire give acess to his files as well as mine? or am I only sharing my own files? |
