Funnily enough about 10 years ago, I had noisy neighbours playing music late at night and after some fruitless attempts at politely asking them to turn the sound down, I found their wifi and ran a 'deauth attack'. Effectively flooding their wifi with packets disconnecting devices. Followed by a, "fuck!"

Safe to say we got peaceful nights sleep.



Is this a felony?


Since there are people from all countries here, the answer to your question depends a lot on who you ask. I don't think even the specific word you used is relevant in all parts of the world.


Is it a felony where you live?


That term doesn't exist in the legal language where I live. And I don't know your term well enough to know what it maps to in our law.


In the United States, there's felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are a big deal, and misdemeanors are a small deal.

Felonies carry sentences over a year, and time is served in state or federal prison, not in a local jailhouse.


No, it was self defense.
