Netstumbler.org may not have been mentioned, but netstumbler.com was.. All you have to do is click on forums, and you're here, but of course you all know that.. There have been many articles published about breaking into wireless networks, and many of them have mentioned netstumbler..

As a member of a local computer users group, I had been in many meetings with our local and state police when one of our libraries installed internet connected computers several years ago.. There was much concern in the community about it.. I am aware of the legal and safety issues and concerns, and we spent many hours discussing those issues with library and community leaders..

Journalists don't neccessarily care that their information is 100% accurate, all they want is to get the story out.. Until the time that they get morals, this site, all that frequent it, and those that wardrive as a sport, are going to have to bite the bullet..

Perhaps the sensitve information in these forums could be protected by allowing access to those that have been here an amount of time, and are somewhat known to the admins.. That way the casual browser, unfriendly journalist, and potential network cracker would have no info to go on..
