We just had a guy from comcast set up our routers security, and I was wondering if he actually did anything....
Is there a program for windows that doesn't take years of programming experience, and that will tell us if our wifi is safe?

They were in fact wardriving, except they had to do something that was illegal when they found an open signal. They had to attach, get an IP, and then get the real world IP reversed so they could see if it was one of theirs and then record it.
The very nature of connecting to the signal is illegal.

Sure comcast has some assholes, but it's not the whole company that was hopping on customers routers, it was simply a couple black hat employees that used their private info on customers to their advantage (which I'm guessing was free internet access)
Forgive me if it actually was comcast, as I haven't read an article on this and am assuming for thier 600kpbs downloads that I used to get
