Surprisingly most users don't setup WEP and allow everything at default. I have two access points and often I could get to my neigbor's router. One of my daughters lives in big city never pays of the service because there are plenty she can tap onto for free.:) |
indeed, i wonder how come some people can setup their networks without any thought going into any kind of security at all, it's like inviting everyone to come in |
