Default password list

Default Password ListIt's a nightmare scenario: you desperately need to get online to check your Facebook account, but you were just given a wireless router by a friend who doesn't know the router's password. And you need to get in so you can configure it for your own use. But you don't have the documentation!

It's a truly horrifying situation which could result in psychological damage due to lack of internet access.

Well, we here at Download Squad don't want to see anyone hurt by a terrible situation like this, so we suggest you go and download the Default Password List, print it out, and put it up on your wall in a prominent position. It needs to be somewhere where you'll never forget about it. We suggest prominently displaying it on your front door, fridge, or any other very visible location.

Okay, go ahead - we'll wait.

Right, now that you're back, you're probably curious what this document is. That's only natural, and you shouldn't feel bad for your questioning feelings. We're not threatened by your curious nature.

The Default Password List is a list of all of the known default passwords for residential routers people use for internet access from home. So, simply reset your mysterious router to factory defaults, look up your router's model number, log in with the supplied credentials, and you should be back in business.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
