Very kind of Pitzer to leave their network open to all comers, no?  I suppose an unsecured wired network is somewhat less dangerous than an unsecured wireless, but still...

On a related note, Robin, I fixed the long blue ethernet cord if you'd rather use that one than the one you're using now.

The AC end's wired network is also unsecured. DHCP gives you a shiny happy IP with external access.

"I suppose an unsecured wired network is somewhat less dangerous than an unsecured wireless,"

How so? I'd say it's even more dangerous. People're more likely to trust the security of their wired network, and you've got more bandwidth for DoSing &c. Is there /any/ way that unsecured wired is less dangerous than unsecured wireless, unless you physically restrict access to the network jacks (which they obviously don't)?

They do physically restrict access to the buildings where the plugs are - I went through two code locks (albeit the easy kind to brute force) to get here. When you're already on a system where you can trust everyone there, securing the ethernet ports seems a little redundant.

For example, if I wanted to hack the network, while I'm at it I might as well bring in a set of boltcutters and liberate this shiny G5 I'm using for video production.
