Use friend's internet connection

[parad0x]

My friend somewhere read that if you can somehow compromise a system having internet connection, you can use the speed of his internet connection as your internet connection but I am not sure how this happens. If this is correct, I'll be using my friend's internet connection which is having a greater speed than that of mine and is unlimited and then, I'll use that for downloading stuff.
 Any guidence will be thankful.

Yes you can, and you can use his system as a proxy too.

Thanks Axon, for fast reply.


I want to do that as my downloading speed is very low(actually 10KBps) and he has about 340KBps. I want to hack that but I didn't find how to do this on  internet. Can someone guide me a little in the direction of doing this as I can place a backdoor in his PC but don't know what to do next...

Let's say, "Friend"  "Backdoor"  you sure mate? I don't think it's very nice to steal the last little bit of bandwith he has left. Because that is fucking nothing. I get troubles sometimes when i am doing all kinds of stuff on my 130 megabit connection.

340KBps? That's nothing. Ermahgerd! Internet connection sucks in India.
If the cables going to your computer don't support traffic higher then 10-20KBps,then you are obviously out of luck. Try to find out what cable that is used.

Lol as we sit here running circles around you people..I have 32MBps internet, of course that's what it's *supposed* to be. Actual download speed is like 4 or 5 MBps, which is complete BS, but it's fast enough to satisfy me. I can download a 10Gb game in under an hour, so it's all good.

Are you sure you're not confusing Mbps with Mb/s? It's a common mistake, and ISPs take advantage of that.

At OP:

There is just one big flaw in your logic.
Yes you could use someone elses connection , in fact the internet is nothing but "someone elses connection"  but it would still be limited to your own throughput no matter what you do.
Only another/more physical connection(s) would make sense.

That means I can't do that??

That means it won't magically make your connection faster. You'll have speed if you, for example, inject a backdoor on your friend's computer and use it to download stuff. But if you try to transfer the downloaded stuff into your computer using your connection, it will be limited by your download speed or his upload speed, whichever is slower.

If he is a friend ( i am not sure what that means in india after reading your posts ) you could ask him to download some things and put it on a usb drive xD.

Yeah, he can download and put it on USB but you know I have to download stuff like video tuts, tools, programs, books and like that. He can give me upto some extent not everything. 
I wasn't saying particularly to my friend, I asked it as if I can apply on a friend, I can apply it on almost anyone by social engineering.
 


@Snayler: Backdoor won't allow me to do so, but through backdoor, I can send a trojan to control his pc.

[proxx]

We can it a little further in that case, he could setup something like RDS or a SSH shell or alike and you could use his connection to download stuff, control whatever you need to control. Put it on a portable drive of any kind and pick that up at a later point.
As I said previously the only way around this is physical in whatever form. Being exactly that.

However there are other ways to actually achive what it is your seeking.
I could let you in on a little secret But you gotta loose that windows thingy first.

Why not? If he's in the same LAN as the OP.

@paradox
In fact, of you're in the same LAN i.e. behind the same nat box, I'll say fire up ettercap and try getting some login creds for the ISP

Than he is very likely to have the same speed availible, which makes the whole ordeal tedious and irrelevent.
