you know this is the wife of the man in the story and if ppl dont know the whole story then they should not even think about what ifs…..all that happened was he was sitting on the street in IL with WI plates on the car and the cop said he was a suspious person. They did not see the lap top or the internet until after the pulled up behind him……and the connection was not blocked, when he drove up to the area, it connected by itself..

Yes, cracking someones wep would probably put you in illegal territory.

you’re not accessing a computer system, you’re accessing bandwith, I highly doubt it’s illegal as long as you aren’t cracking security

Well, in the UK it would be illegal (unauthorised access to computer system, violates the Computer Misuse Act) so for me it’s moot really.

Now, if only someone would write an all-on-one program to detect the network, sniff packets, and crack WAP on an Atheros Atheros notebook (built in) Wifi ‘card’…(I think it’s a 5005G or something like that)… :/ My neighbor has a wifi connection, but can’t find any programs that will help crack his WEP

It’s almost as if they are saying, “Use someone elses Wi-Fi to download the latest movies and albums, it’s almost impossible to track you down.”
Or alternatively, “Use Wi-Fi, if your IP gets busted then just claim it was someone else using your unsecured connection”. Foolproof
