I don't think so, but IANAL. I define wardriving as just driving around and seeing what networks are out there, but not actually connecting or using any of their bandwidth. It's no more illegal than listening to the radio in your car. > (Is there any purpose to driving/walking/riding around sniffing > wireless networks without actually connecting and using their > bandwidth?) Of course. Lots of networks out there are intentionally left open to the public. You want to find out where they are, so you wardrive. Do some homework though. Just because a network is unsecured doesn't mean it's public.... the same way me leaving my front door unlocked doesn't give you the right to come in and snoop around (even if you don't steal anything). ray
