    • Lots n lots of responses ... its good :-)

      Of course, I disagree, to the extent that people aren't intentionally wardriving to, say, download kiddie pr0n without being detected.

      But there might be other legit reasons for someone to want to use a neighbours unlocked AP, even if they have a fast connection right next to them - for example, testing a home server.

      I've even been thinking of setting up an unsecured AP myself, just to be part of the local freenode ...

        • Since you brought up the car analogy :-)

          Its not the same as a car - the car just sits there, its locked, and even if its not, you still need the keys to start it. However, if the neighbour dropped the keys into your mailbox, he'd have a hard time saying you weren't authorised to use it, even if its still parked in his own driveway.

              Making a request to an AP is the same as knocking on the door. Both the AP and the homeowner can either say "go away" or "come in". If they do neither, then the default is "go away".

              Its not like finding a door

                • Long term, what we need is for people to get a clue, not additional protocols. All additional protocols will do is give manufacturers something else to dumb down and leave to "reasonable defaults" so it "just works" without the user actually having to change anything from its default configuration, read the fine manual, call up customer support, complain to the vendor, etc ... Like how things stand today ... :-)

                  It's quite easy to see a set of circumstances where non-trivially using an FTP server is illegal
