Re: Unencrypted Signal Leaves Property = Public
Actually, we're not calling that illegal. If you receive an SSID broadcast from my equipment while driving by, then that is indeed my fault. My equipment is sending that signal out.
You're just misinterpreting it as an invitation for you to access my equipment; something that was never granted to you explicitly. Implicit permission is practically impossible to justify ever, as permission itself is a very explicit thing, it's either there or not.
End of case, it's not your fault you receive my SSID broadcast, it is your fault if you, knowing that the equipment is there, allow or force your equipment to connect to my private network, regardless of whether I have secured it or not. Running an unsecured access point is stupid, but not an invitation. |
