well our school is annoying and they use macs and well anyhow i cant connect to the wireless... no encryption and there was a proxy before that i found out and used but somehow they still run on that proxy but wont let my itouch in... any ideas how to find the way through or some sort of password?

ive checked the keychain utility also... nothing

Sounds like MAC Address filtering. Of course only you can find out what is actually being run, but if there's no encryption like you say then they're running MAC filtering. That's still not very safe. All it takes is for an attacker to do a site survey, make a list of working MACs and spoof. I'll leave that up to you.

ah thank you! i actually do have a macspoofer for my itouch, would it be possible to just get a mac address off of one of their computers and use that one too?

Yes you can. I know Kismet will report MAC addresses used by all the machines on the associated network. NetStumbler probably will.

The problem with spoofing a MAC is that if two machines are on and requesting internet access the router won't know which IP to send the correct information since your IP and the victim's IP will be different. The best time to spoof a MAC is to get on when the computer is offline.
