RE: [Netstumbler] Browse Networks

["Frank Thornton" <fthornton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, anyone who uses NS (or other such tools) should also know this is
highly unethical.

Second, should anyone take the actions listed below, the owner of the
network would be well within his rights to have the person charged
criminally, and could also sue for civil damages.  It is ILLEGAL to browse
or otherwise use the resources of ANY network to which you do not have
explicit permission to connect.

You can use a GPS, map the access point, reverse lookup their address for
their phone number, and give them a call. You could also, if they have WEP,
break it, brute force the account for their server, change their SSID to
something so that they may contact you. I have done such a thing at local
libraries and such so i could talk to the owner of the AP and maybe give him
some information in getting his wireless network secured to the best of his
ability. Another alternative would be to make a cantenna, wait until you get
the AP showed up in your sniffer, hook up your cantenna and walk until your
signal gets the strongest, then look around and pick a house. This approach
is may be faster, but if you're seen, you might want an excuse. So, that's
my 2cents about locating those AP's around your house. Also, you might try
and NetSend them a message from XP/2K and see if they have it enabled. K
that's it.
