<In many locations it's free (airports etc) - particularly where they
I got a wifi sniffer on my GPS PDA, I have found while driving to work about
5 hotspots (private address) with no wep encryption,
Is it illegal to log on and surf - check email?
At my works I have wifi with wep encryption, the factory next door has the
same but dose not have any encryption, while using my laptop the other day,
it managed to log onto there wifi connection, after about 5 mins of thinking
my connection is slow today I looked at the network configuration to find I
was logged onto the factory next door at 2Mbps- if it is illegal shouldn't
encryption be the normal not an option?
(sorry if this shows up twice my server is playin up)
