| WTF? "hacker craze"?? This article demonstrates the sheer ignorance of the reporter. That "They may have been engaged in the recent hacker craze known as "wardriving"" line REALLY pissed me off.
This reporter is gonna get an email from me.

| It's too late. The term "hacker" has evolved and now in the public eye means "Low life crook, pathetic virus writing geek, common criminal" etc
War-driving will quickly become one with "Crime" too.
These days, being equated as a "hacker" is almost the same as being called a "Terrorist"... just the way the Government and Corporations want it.

Cooleemee, NC | Legit wardriver. Disabling TCP/IP on your card and not connecting to AP's. Doins surveys of what wireless is out there. Remember connecting to any wirless network with out permision is a crime. Like me, I tend to travel a lot and I leave my lappy on and disable TCP/IP and use a program that tells me what wireless networks are out there. Then I transfer to a site that has a list of AP all over the world. Its for surveying purpose only. That is what I consider a legit "wardriver" |
