Sure if you have someone that is determined enough to sit
outside your house to steal your data, then it all makes
sense. How many cases have you heard about where the cops
nail some schmuck sitting in a car with a laptop?
There have been a few, do they take the time to go around
cracking WEP etc etc? No. They just move on to an easier
target. There are plenty of places that offer free wifi,
some hotels and restaurants, libraries....the list goes on.
The only reason someone would have to try to crack your
encryption is because you have something very valuable that
they want. What's that you ask? Your identity.
Here on the news, someone broke into a company and stole the
company gas card. They still haven't been caught yet there is surveillance video of the break in, surveillance video
of the card being used at various stations, a description
of the person, the SUV they're driving and they STILL
haven't been caught. A suspicious car sitting in a
neighborhood, of course the cops are going to be called.
Someone sitting in an apartment behind closed doors
accessing their neighbor's network? Yeah, the cops are
really going to show up for that. Unless there is massive
downloading where the connection is maxed out 24/7, I
doubt the neighbor would even know that someone is using
the connection. A true hacker does no harm to a system.
Personally, I'd like to see all this NVIDIA processing
power be put to good use. Cancer research perhaps?
