Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default Restarting router + IP change

My IP changes whenever I restart my router. Does that mean that at some point in time there may be someone else using the IP I was using before I restarted my router? Would that person have to be using the same ISP since the ISP owns/rents that block of IP's?

Yes and Yes. Someone def had that IP before, and IPs are usually ISP-specific (you can only get an IP issued to your own ISP).

Thanks. That explains it. I suppose then the way they connect IP's to people is by the ISP checking who that IP was assigned to at the time the offense was committed.
