Like if my enigber has wireless internet , i can be sitting in my house takeing up some bandwith, or do they have to allow it?
VictimOfScience said:Yup, that's what he's saying. Take your laptop(or psp) around town and run a wifi detecting program and you will be surprised at what you find. Any wireless network you find that isn't encrypted, you can connect to and use to surf the 'Net for free. Of course, its not really free, as it is technically someone else's bandwidth, but this becomes a pretty gray area in the law. The wireless networks are there sending out unprotected signals for anyone to pick up, just like a radio station does. If its being broadcast openly, how illegal can it be, but it certainly depends on your state's/country's laws.
And how many people running wireless networks actually check their logs and such for discrepancies or monitor their network traffic? Thanks to places like BestBuy and others, every idiot and their mother has a wireless network because it is "cool" and most aren't secured properly. Very surprising to see how many people hook up a wireless network and don't even bother to activate WEP at least. Ridiculously insecure and crazy if you ask me, but many corporations do this too surprisingly. :rolling:
