You can also use a weak antennae that doesn't push the signal to the street, if you live on a couple of acres.

Using the BackTrack Linux distribution (boots from USB) & AirCrack I was able to crack my neighbours wifi in about 15 minutes. I was also able to capture a WPA authentication packet, which in theory is crackable with a dictionary attack. Tip of the day: If you're using WEP, don't! If you're using WPA use a *very* secure password!!! -- Paul [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
