Stealing wireless

I heard a story on (local?) NPR recently about people stealing wireless internet from their neighbors. i have been thinking that it is genius. Officials were estimating that only 1/3 of people who have wireless networks secure them properly. people who had these networks went both ways- guerilla aka i don't care who uses my network and of course the opposite i pay for it- it's mine.been thinking about trying to piggy back, especially being in my area. seems like alot of folks would have wireless and not be smart or knowledgable enough to secure it. anyone care to weigh in?p's taters

hell yeah, i run torrents, limewire, and soulseek on that unsecured shit all day.
bottom line is if its there, its there.
After doing some more research it appears that it isn't even illegal in most places.
I don't believe there are any laws against it either. It would be pretty messed up if someone got sued by the RIAA for file sharing or busted for threatening the president because of someone jacking their network.
If anyone is into giving direction on how exactly this is done with a newer g4 powerbook, pm me. i will kindly trade a decent record for good info haha...
this is a problem if you're connected to the internet, period
of course it makes it just a little easier if it's via an open wireless connection
most wireless speeds are not as fast as a land line, but for most purposes are fast enough for browsing, downloading of songs, etc
I prefer the line I pay for, no need to worry about speeds or wireless piggybacking. If I couldn't afford it, I'd go wireless in a heartbeat.
6 are unsecured.
im actually using someone elses network right now (have been all school year). funny thing is we (me and my roommates) have a wireless router, but its in my roommates room who doesnt know how to set it up. So we are paying for internet, but only my roommate accesses the internet we are paying for.
I try outside to steal lines but can work
i need password
psp always ask me password..
so how can i get pass????
you'll be picking up networks farther away in the direction you point it, not all over the place. antennas and such are better suited for all over the place than the pringles cans.
So true.
Resk, you write (graffiti)? I was in Orlando last week and "Resk" was the only name I saw up.
