[QUOTE="PowerbookG417, post: 29814"] So i decieded to look into this whole " war driving " thing a lil more and what better way to do this than try it myself. so i downloaded "Kismac" grabbed the powerbook and took off for a lil drive and while on the way to school a 10 min trip i stumbled upon 26 wireless networks in not that big of a city 17 of which had no password or encription even some of the major banks had no encription on their wireless networks. When i first came upon this subject i was very stand offish about it i still do feel that way, but like witeshark says " I kinda agree that open networks are fair game. " not that im going to make it my weekend but if i was stuck somewhere and needed net access and it was open..i think i might just take advantage of it. btw if you are intrested in this i tried the macstumbler program as well and didnt think it was half as good as kismac. check it out if your intrested for those super wardrivers it also has a wep encription cracker with some serious cracking abilties it looks like, and also pulls up alot of info about the network include manufacture of the router and clients connected [/QUOTE]
