Re: Hacking into an insecure Wireless Network

to access a network when not authorized and in your case its an indication
of the stupidity of todays' youth.

I doubt very much that you are in a position to address me as "my little
boy", since I am almost 63 years old. You also seem to be assuming that
I am the one looking for the hacking infomation.

You may of course be correct that the OP was seeking information about
hacking into someone else's network, but you should be more careful
about how you word your messages.

I believe that there is something as: "innocent until proven guilty"? How on
earth can you know if he is trying to hack an other network?

And furthermore, what's wrong with pointing out some security risks?
Somebody who's technically capable of accessing an AccessPoint should be
capable enough to search on Google for some hacking-information. It isn't
exactly top-secret information that most protocols use plain-text passwords.

As for the rest of you mail... let's say you have a lot to learn about
writing a decent posting.
