This is fun to think about..

First, a true hacker will get in.. get out.. and never harm others info. It is the kiddies out here that just got a computer that try to devastate peoples resources that make a bad name for the rest of the real people who love to jack. Useless go-nowhere idiots!

If you go to a site and your card locks onto a network that gives you an IP (DHCP) to let you surf the web then how can that be against the law? You have been invited onto their network to use the bandwidth as you see fit. A public freq. (2.4) with a DHCP service (IP) and no lockdowns (WEP off).. hhhmmm. Sounds like an invitation to me. It is not like you are in their workgroup so you can gain access to their hard drives.. Hell if anyone wanted access to hard drives just get on any cable modem, and BAM! surf all the hard drives you want - what a waste of time.Wow you can read grandmas letter to aunt betty. Get a life!

There are tons of open networks all over that are grassroot efforts to try to supply people with enough bandwidth to check email, read websites, and download files from your own servers. Would I ever use someone's network without a secure link myself.. NO! I always use safeweb, or SSH to surf into mail.yahoo.com, or telnet into a box on a secure link. Wireless is fun, but I am not stupid.

What I think is funny are those who leave their sites open and supply people with DHCP just to grab info as the unsuspecting lanjacker uses their networks.. Thats funny.. So it works both ways. There are people who are lanjacking and get onto the web in the middle of a parking lot. Then there are those allowing the lanjack to happen so they can grab info that comes across their newly lanjacked network.. Run script kiddies.. Run!

MOREL: Watch who's jacking who... ;-)

SIDENOTE: My place is in the heart of San Francisco.. Come by and use my network.. I won't be sniffing packets as you lanjack my world.. hahahahaha

LAW BREAKING:

If you go to a site and they have applied WEP, or other security measures to keep you out, and you break them to gain access you have just broken the law... Enjoy becoming bubba's new girlfriend!

Other then that I only keep track of open DHCP nets. The others are not worth the trouble, or the possible time to be corn holed. Someone else can fight that battle. I enjoy my freedom... ;-)
