Akuma, you are missing the point of this. Look up the hadopi laws. Basically, france wants to start penalizing the person who pays for an internet account if any illegal traffic came through that account at all, whether or not the person was responsible. Not only that, but the judge’s are going to be given 5 minutes per case to check the evidence and make a decision. This is being done to prove that there can be no reasonable expectation of security on wireless networks, so they cannot hold account owners responsible for the traffic.

It’ll just do wep cracking. Wep is a joke. WPA is (relatively) safe.

Having read this article, I will never again say that editors are useless. The stop nonsense like this being published.

“I cracked a Wi-Fi network last year in Barcelona, and ended up saving my roommates several euros in the process.”

Excellent idea there Nic! Where do you live? I would love to break into your house and steal your TV. Only to save my mates a few quid. You totally understand right? Douche.

“The whole point of the exercise is to prove that wireless security is largely a joke”

And their idea of an alternative is?

Not everybody can wire everything in their house.

I am definitely not in favor of forcing their views on what is and is not secure like this, its like trying to prove that a house isn’t secure by breaking in and robbing the place.

no wonder some Barcelona locals are frequently blamed for pickpocketing, when Americans are stealing their bandwidth.

Ha, HostileWRT – automated cracking of wireless security passwords! As a security specialist, that’s what I need to teach others what NOT to use as a password…
