Free Internet Discovery through Default Credentials
The episode discusses a caller's experience of discovering a method to access free internet using default credentials provided by a major Australian ISP. When the caller signed up for the ISP's internet service, they received a modem with a predictable SSID and a simplistic eight-number password. By performing a Wi-Fi scan, the caller found numerous SSIDs corresponding to the ISP in their area. This commonality provided an opportunity to exploit default passwords, allowing the caller to obtain free internet access across Australia using this straightforward technique.
