Re: Tools to unlock locked nets?
 

I purchased a good book on the subject of hacking wifi from Amazon.com a while ago. It's called WIFOO The Secrets of Wireless Hacking . It's basically written for those who want to test their own systems. After reading some of it, I stopped worrying about my own WPA protected system because that stuff was so highly technical. It appears to require a very extensive software education, the need to spend on special antennas and other gear and then a whole bunch of time reading the book and putting it all together. Basically, it would also have to be a neighbor since one would have to be hanging around outside without arousing suspicion. And all that just to get free wifi? Here in Seattle there are plenty of open wifi networks. The only other reason I might worry is that maybe a neighbor would do all that to hack my bank passwords. But those pass in an encrypted form.

For what?

Connect while he's connected...
Maybe I'm missing the point. If you just need a serendipitous net connection, I'm thinkin' that would be a way. But like I said, I wouldn't know. I don't need to connect that bad. :p

Um, you need the password so that you can decrypt the packets. A real wardriver would know that.

Seattle is actually laggin' pretty badly for free wifi, unless your on the eastside (Bellevue, etc)... a damn shame if u ask me!
