I wonder how long it will be before the whole country is covered by wireless broadband (or similar) connection, much as with the all pervasive mobile phones? I’m assuming that all need is a few GIANT routers scattered about the countryside cunningly disguised as trees…

But I can’t. 🙂 Half the thing is just sniffing the traffic which will find the LAN if you are using it. The next stage is to see the MAC address of your machine then change yours to match, voila bypass that level of access.

The WEP is harder, I don’t know how it’s done entirely and I don’t have the tools, but I know it can be broken at any length, but that bit is much harder to do.
