My situation: I live in an populated area with many wireless networks. One is open and always on. If that was my network, that would mean I didn't mind other people using it. But I'd like to ask, and know who it is, before doing that. The problem: I have no idea who it is. Is there any way that wireless networks can publish more info than just the network name? If so, how could I see that?
Also, is there a way to tell if its some kind of honeypot trap? It's odd that all the networks in my building fade in and out as I walk around, but this one maintains full strength, like it's not coming from a normal wireless router.
1My garage is open, that does not mean you can use anything in it..this is an assumption on your part. – Moab – 2011-09-24T19:10:41.633
How is trespassing on a person's property related to this question? – bryan – 2011-09-25T07:15:12.473
@bryan - in many jurisdictions, using someone's network (wired or wireless) is illegal even though it may be unprotected. – Rory Alsop – 2011-09-26T14:43:38.690
