Wireless Network laws?

[Jeff7181]

Lets say I happen to detect a neighbor's wireless network... and lets say that network isn't secure... and lets say that person has file and printer sharing enabled. Would it violate any laws if I printed something on their printer to let them know their network is insecure?

Why don't you just walk over there and tell them that their network isn't secure?

I don't know exactly who's it is.

Do a google, it is illegal to acces a wireless network whether its unsecure or not.

send a net command to their computers with your address and tell them to drop by to discuss their unsecured network 😀

That's almost what I had in mind. I was thinking of just printing a document telling them their wireless network isn't secure and give them my e-mail address.

It's a good idea in theory. I'd actually just have them email hotmail or something. You'd hate for them to get pi$$ed at you.

I guess I could also just leave it be since it's not my problem... and if it's a certain one of my neighbors I don't really care because I don't like them. 🙂
