kurt Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I haven't piggybacked in about a year and a half. It's still real easy though. Anywhere in Lincoln Park there are about 200 WiFi networks available @ anytime. The coffee wars are heating up though; we're hitting critical mass on coffee shops, and many are offering free WiFi. Easier, and you get coffee.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 All those wireless routers that everyone is installing are not encrypted; most folks don't even know they can and should be encrypted. Pull over after the 1st inspection, boot up the laptop, go to the wireless dialog, watch as about 40-50 residential networks pop up, sign in, check email, send report, etc. Most folks around here are getting wise to it. I only did it a few times because I could, but after a couple times I hit the "would I want someone doing this w/my network?", and I stopped. Still real easy though....
