stealing wifi.......
I came across this article today. I thought Id post it so we can address the legal aspect of using unsecured wifi before all kinds of pointless threads show up here. The point
Is if your not paying and its not a advertised FREE hotspot you probably shouldnt be stealing anyones wifi.
From a link on that page...Originally Posted by purehate
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Police have charged a Florida man with a third-degree felony charge, after he was arrested for accessing a St. Petersburg resident's wireless Internet network without permission.
It says its a greay area mainly because wifi security laws are new and non specefic....but Im telling you now..If you steal my bandwith...my beer or my wife...theres gonna be trouble...especially about the beer.
Deja Vu purehate??..lol

nothing like drinking a few wives and swapping beers among friends, now stealing my bandwidth could land you in some trouble with the law of me......
the fact of the matter is "the net" is not that expensive. A 14 year old could open a lemonade stand and make enough to pay monthly for broadband. hey wait a min....... Ive got a kid I can put to work

Starbucks man in the middle article:
It seems it is based on this forum:

not a chat room as the article references. The user names he quotes are all members here. I thought it was funny cause while reading the article, it made me remember, hey, i posted a few things in that thread....

Wow, itseme is famous. :-)
It's them damn seppos, again. (I'm american, btw. Guess that makes me a seppo, too)"From the language used, the criminals appear to be US-based"
If articles like this don't put the heat on this forum, I don't know what will. Everyone needs to watch what they say, the men in black are watching.
Seriously, this is a real good reason to limit discussions here to legal topics.
On the other hand, it's open discloser and articles like this one that make average people aware of the various insecurities and danger of wireless usage and the internet in general. The more attacks like mitm are talked about, the more people will understand and take appropriate measures. I believe security info should be free and freely discussed. I guess it's important how it's discussed, though.
Even with all the recent publicity about wireless insecurities, I think your average user is still blissfully unaware. :-(
I think you're mistaken in that aspect, as I have seen personally a growing number of average users enabling security on their AP's. Over on Wigle, for the first time since it started, I believe the number of open AP's to closed AP's is almost even at 50% each. In my own area, (I've collected nearly 18,000 AP's), I've seen the ratio of open to close go from about 6 to 1 to now about 3 to 1. Word is getting out there even among the average users.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Just goes to show you...they ARE watching..and we need to cover our asses by not teaching morons how to hack and use -=Xploitz=-..etc. But how can we make sure info isn't leaked to a criminal minded person?? You can't..but you can chose not to tell someone the answer to what their seeking.
Great..now were all targets of the FBI..CIA.MIB..Big Brother....AND theprez98
Fu*king n00bies are drawing heat on us!

Streaker69,
I have also noticed that more access points seem to be secured, not just with wep, but more and more with wpa.
I was referring to the average user who would access the internet through any of the free, public wifi hotspots, not people who have their own networks.
