Amateurs!
That's what this guy was - an amatuer! Someone said it right - you get a contract to evaluate a system FIRST then you hack it! This bozo deserves everything he gets! To many freaking wannabes calling themsleves "security specialists" without knowing the first thing about the ground rules.
Yes, the Clerk of the Court needs to share this guys fate for allowing an unsecured system to be installed. But we all know that's not going to happen.
One other thing - let's don't kid ourselves about wardriving being a good "cause". If all you do is collect APs then you've got a hobby. If it goes any further then it's hacking - something this court is probably going to make case law about.
That FOX news story the other night ended up with the talking head spouting something about "this is a gray area until the courts get involved". Well I think the "courts" are about to "get involved" and legistlators will soon follow it up with black letter law.
If you want to call informing and educating others about the insecurities of 802.xx a "cause" - I'll buy that - but wardriving? Wardriving has been fun, and educational but a "cause"? .... I don't think so.
"We have for a long time being breaking little laws, and the big laws are beginning to catch up with us." ~ A.F. Coventry 1888-1973 Canadian Naturalist
