Re: [PLUG] Verizon FIOS & open wireless


Since you seem to doubt my word. I suggest you go lurk on forums like netstumbler.org and google for your proof. You will find amble information on the Internet about these activities. Look on amazon.com and search for the term war driving, 802.11, or wireless security and you will literally find volumes of information on how to do it.  Though war driving, by hacker definition; you are not suppose to have your tcp/ip stack active. However to obtain an ip address on a network you have no business being on is only a check box away and the temptation for some is just to great.
 
How am I smearing the the Intelligence Services of the US by stating that if someone were to hijack an Internet connection and then use said connection to send otherwise hateful or terroristic threats to the white house that it wouldn't in some way be the duty of the secret service to investigate all said incidents and people involved. Gab that's just SOP, they take all threats seriously?
 
If you tell a shrink even in jest that you wish to do harm in some way to anyone or the government they are legally obligated to report you.
 
Enjoy your search.

Can you produce a single shred of evidence that this has "become
popular"?

You believe this. Do you have proof of it?
