Hi Hroðgar,
I'm not sure about the legalities of the below in your country, but where I 
live "My Network" is considered private property.

Thus it would be fine were I to create a Malicious Honeypot using the current 
ssid, channel etc. and should 
anyone (forcing entry) be nuked by it (esp. since it is not an open wifi) he's 
on his own.  

If you google a bit you'll find this is actually very easy to do.


My two cents...
 Ulrich

Hi David, 
   Thanks for the thorough list of ideas and urls!  I didn't know about dd-wrt 
nor the podcast, zuperkool.

Ah yes, that should have been obvious but slipped my mind!

  Yeah, in reference to a previous post, I wouldn't mind sharing my wifi, if I 
had unlimited usage*. The idea of having someone intentionally cracking my 
router, now at least 4 times .... it doesn't seem like a white hat to me. 

N.B.   I am very grateful for the work of  Île Sans Fil ( et Zap ) and support 
the concept of open wifi hotspots ( ignoring the side effects of the financial 
allocation in the security domain )

Ah yes, wise,  I thought of that, but I may just buy a new router before I get 
up the effort.



Thanks to David and the other for your suggestions

Muchos Thank yous
Hro
