Wardriving is not hacking. Wardriving is driving around to search for OPEN wirelss networks, which you can then hack, but wardriving alone is not hacking. The title is so ignorant...
Heres some things they dont mention, #1 unencrypted wifi broadcast's are perfectly legal to access and sniff aslong (by encryption that also includes internet traffic suck as SSL certifications or anything from of packet encryption) wardriving it self is not ilegal. As for the "illegal" aspects there are ways around that, such as using a fake AP "phishing" attack, as all data is on your network in this method it becomes 100% legal for you to "audit" the packet information, encrypted or not.
Fox knows shit, how would they get into my pc? hmm? 1. i dont have sharing on, 2. i use wpa psk 2 with a strong password, 3. wifi dosent get far out of my home, so good luck 4. i can see your hacking in real time. and boot you from my network ^_^ 5. Wardar, i can play the same game right back
Wifi is very easy to sniff, especially if it's not encrypted (open/no passwd), or even WEP (can take a modern computer less than half an hour to crack). WPA is decent, but if the attacker is monitoring while you first establish the connection, you better have a strong password...
Agreed... wardriving is not illegal as per article 15 of the FCC. Connecting to someone else's network without their permission is. Doug, you could have done a much better demonstration using a cantenna, better wi-fi card, GPS, even Google Earth has a hack that practically pinpoints where in the house the AP is.
Fuck whits Fox reporting bollocks again. Wardriving ISN'T illegal. Or Google would be fucked as their WIFI mapping as they do along doing Street View would be illegal, because that is technically Wardriving. It's the act of mapping AP in an area.
Sure they can hack into your WiFi network, however they can't do jack in your protected laptop or computer. Any monkey can go on open networks, but try hacking into my computer and I'll be FUMIGATING & INFECTING your hacking computer with BIOS and VRAM corrupting PC virus!!! Try & you'll have a DEAD PC!!!
Informing yourself BEFORE buying/using something new to you is always recommended and will save you from trouble, but the fact is most people are too lazy/dumb for this, they just buy, turn it on and as long as it works they're satisfied.
Ok look Hacking is illegal. If you hack a unsecured network your not hacking. You are using a public network. Using a public network is not aganst the law!!!
The absolute safest route would be aes encrypted networks with aes encrypted hard drives. However, WPA and WPA2 are EXTREMELY secure. Any idiot here claiming to hack one in 10 minutes is a flat out liar. Even the savviest hackers end up using dictionary attacks either directly or against known hash values stolen off the network's stations -- and if you have a 25 character long password containing numbers, letters, and ascii characters, there's no way you're getting hacked.
Waredriving is NOT illegal and you do NOT have to hack the fucking connection to wardrive. In simplest terms you can drive around and document where connections are while mapping it with a gps... Fucking idiots, the media can burn. Fox especially. They've always hated us
This is pure fear-mongering. Password your Wi-Fi. If someone breaks into it after that, they are a bit more than a little tech savvy, or probably someone you've given your password. But, any person whose network is worth breaking into, knows the fundamental steps in protecting shit you don't want someone seeing. Therefore, this is a fear-mongering technique by Fox News to scare the shit out da ignant folk who don't know WEP from WAP.
Did he just compare an antispam email client to wifi encryption?
good fucking god, what has the goddamn world come to. I can crack WEP, WPA, and WPA2 within fucking 10 minutes, there is no suck thing as secure unless you're not advertising your wireless network.
this is weird, I wanted to go on a site, and it's offline and such. Trying the next site i visit often, that's offline too. I try to go to the first website again, i get linked to THIS vid.
I liked the download "illegal" music. Music isn't illegal, downloading it is. While everyone is shouting at wardriving (which is fun) fox spreads LIES bout music.
@Elantrix actually where I live connecting to someones network isn't illegal. even hacking the password isn't illegal. only stealing data or damaging data is illegal. But hacking a password and surfing the web through someones network is legal (where I live) w00t
@clayton8tor your wrong. It is illegal to use someones wireless network without permission. Unless the ssid states its a public hotspot. Without permissions it is accessing a computer network without authorization and is a federal offence!
I'm not agreeing with the video. War driving IS legal. but to use anyones connection without permission is indeed a federal offence
there not hacking your computer dumbass there just using ur internet so it dosin't mater if u want to u can do wut it says i don't cuz i don't give a shit i let my neibor use it for his ds just to play mario kart on wifi no one can hack ur computer cuz they need ur ip which is easily found through there own computer but they also need ur computer acount username and password thats if they have a program to remotly control ur computer without an ip they have to access ur logmein if u have one
What system covers the wireless unsecured brain signals? And why is there such a need to pry into others lives once they have learned how to listen into it? One thing is to know you are being watched...another is to be harrassed by the repeating back of your life and their intent to alter you. This includes the making of serial murderers. Thanks USA homeland slavery!
They were using Netstumbler. Most routers today are unsecured but as 2wires coming out and being the primary field router for AT&T U-Verse they are protected using WPA2 and its a little harder to crack than WEP. If you are a serius hacker you would be using Backtrack. but yes many phones also are setup to connect to the strongest open wifi network. if you want to protect yourself I would hide SSID and put WP2 with a strong password. or make a virtual wifi lan and use it as a honey pot.
If you know for sure that there was someone that hacked in to your network, and you want to report it, i would first go into the router's console and check for the mac and ip address. If that doesn't show then they have their macs hidden or spoofed and/or the router erased it from the log after a certain period of time. A honey pot is a good defense if you know how to use it. Keep all logs on that interface and make sure you back them up and most importantly your router's configuration.
Lol I like how they use words like "hacking" just cause it sounds cool but they clearly have no fuckin clue what they're talking about, typical news anchor ignorance... Scanning wireless networks in range and double-clicking on one that isnt secured to connect to the internet is NOT hacking you fuckin morons.. It doesnt take a PID in computer science or any programming skills to do that!! Then again it's Fox News so who knows.. douchebags...
eddieyorke: Your fucking stupid! WEP is hacked you goddamn moron! You should do your homework before you comment! You fucking idiot!!!!! LULZ LULZ LULZ you been pawned you dumb bastard!
Geez the media is running out of good stories I see. Forget hunger or pollution...nah, let's crack on people who don't know how to click one checkmark for WEP/WPA (even the 20$ used router I bought supports it). I know people that leave their connection unprotected for their neighbors who only use the net to check their e-mail now and then...I don't know about the rest of you but I see it like leaving a bunch of stuff on the lawn marked "free". If they wanted it they wouldn't put it there. geez
But, hey, there are about 100,000 undetected cases going on every year and only 2,000 getting caught, so hey...why not eh? I myself do not try to steal secure info, but there are many that do...but hey, i use to make credit card readers/writers for hobby and NEVER used one illegally.
This can be innocent or it can be illegal. Depends on what your doing, just getting internet access or are you trying to get private info. I mean, I could capture private info, if i wanted to...I live where there are hundreds of unsecured networks, and secured ones also that can be cracked, but I choose not to do it. There are enuf legal hotspots that i dont have to ward someone's.
>D this has got to be the dumbest shit i have ever seen.. i know there are some dumb-ass script-kiddies out there but this is just to make people paranoid.. (i laughed my balls of when i saw this)
no wifi hacker will steal anything* from ppls computers. ive bean wardring/wifi hacking for about 3 years & nerver stole ANYTHING (well.. except the wep/WPA key.¬) ) its all load of bollocks. there just scareing ppl for no reason. & 99% of wi-fi users will NEVER be hacked.
MAC filtering is about as worthless as WEP encryption. Your AP is just itchin' to give out the MACs that are allowed. Plus, you can just fake the MAC that matches with a comp that's already authenticated. Don't get me wrong, it *helps*, but it is by no means more secure.
whoa, whoa, whoa.... hold on a sec, bad guy? who the fuck is this bad guy who is going around stealing shit? most wardrivers (like myself) just use it as a means of getting internet access on the road. This report is very biased, trying to scare people with the big bad hacker who wants to steal your info, wtf? what am I gonna do with someones myspace password, geez leave it to these morons from the ultra conservative network fox to make something as innocent as wardriving into a big deal!
is it that hard click a bubble when u hook up the router n make a phrase its so easy im on my wiis opera browser my router uses wpa psk (TKIP) and it works on almost all our wireless devices. So secure networks its a click away
war driving is legal and people who get routers well reaserch shows at least 75 % of people dont secure there internet so any one could gain access to there computers and use there internet
Wardriving isn't illegal. PIGGYBACKING is illegal. >_< Wardriving is just LOOKING for wireless networks. It's very legal. Hell, google for "WiGLE". Christ.
WTF, why is this shot like a hollywood film? Why does it sound like one, too? Wow, your computers can get hacked. That is a fact of life. And if you have a computer and AREN'T "a little tech savvy", than bullocks to you. And no, not *anyone* can do it, because then *anyone* would know how to protect it. And if war driving is so illegal, how did their tech guys check it out? /rant
lol "And DOWNLOAD ILLEGAL MUSIC." Wow, worst thing you blokes at fox could think of?
Wardriving is not hacking; its scanning for open wireless access points. Active wardriving is perfectly legal. By the way, in some states, connecting to unprotected AP's is perfectly legal. Even if you use WEP encryption, you are still vulnerable to attacks.
Wardriving is LEGAL Stupid Ass, Where did you get your info from? Looks like having a BS (BullShit) degree in journalism doesn't make you any smarter then working at McDonalds banging Ronald. This goes to show how stupid you have to be to get into being a TV/Radio reporter. Its a good jobs for nerds/loners. After all, they can lie about anything and still feel good about it.
omg war driving is wrong look with your wireless network the war driver can use up your Internet hours and even downloads by downloading shit from kazaa
The bumpin rap music with the driving was tight yo. All nasty and ghetto, war driving to the MAX! We are l33t thugs ya'll. I'm going to go hack now by downloading songs off kazaa.
Melodramatic much? The reporter's narration is hideously cheesy -- not to mention there was no news angle to this piece. Yeah, wireless network security is a problem... so what?
that was the lamest fuckin video on you tube...that was worse than the teenage kid sayin he was hacking cuz he connected to somones wireless internet. I mean what the fuck did they show? two guys driving around with net stumbler. ooooooh sooooooo technical!
omg they give war drivers a bad name all they are doing is maping where your wireless network is big whoop go cry about it its not like they are stealing from you unless they conneket
Ever look at those IT so called 'gurus' and ask yourself how can he sleep at night? Those morons are less knowledgable than anyone I know..its like they are squelling on the hacker community .... TRADERS/FAGGOTS
real war driving has nothing to do with hacking or stealing peoples information.

I know people that leave their connection unprotected for their neighbors who only use the net to check their e-mail now and then...I don't know about the rest of you but I see it like leaving a bunch of stuff on the lawn marked "free". If they wanted it they wouldn't put it there. geez

But, hey, there are about 100,000 undetected cases going on every year and only 2,000 getting caught, so hey...why not eh? I myself do not try to steal secure info, but there are many that do...but hey, i use to make credit card readers/writers for hobby and NEVER used one illegally.

This can be innocent or it can be illegal. Depends on what your doing, just getting internet access or are you trying to get private info. I mean, I could capture private info, if i wanted to...I live where there are hundreds of unsecured networks, and secured ones also that can be cracked, but I choose not to do it. There are enuf legal hotspots that i dont have to ward someone's.

MAC filtering is about as worthless as WEP encryption. Your AP is just itchin' to give out the MACs that are allowed. Plus, you can just fake the MAC that matches with a comp that's already authenticated. Don't get me wrong, it *helps*, but it is by no means more secure.

whoa, whoa, whoa.... hold on a sec, bad guy? who the fuck is this bad guy who is going around stealing shit? most wardrivers (like myself) just use it as a means of getting internet access on the road. This report is very biased, trying to scare people with the big bad hacker who wants to steal your info, wtf? what am I gonna do with someones myspace password, geez leave it to these morons from the ultra conservative network fox to make something as innocent as wardriving into a big deal!

Aren't we forgetting about the most protected network security? Maybe something called "Mac Filtering" seriously..

is it that hard click a bubble when u hook up the router n make a phrase its so easy im on my wiis opera browser my router uses wpa psk (TKIP) and it works on almost all our wireless devices. So secure networks its a click away

use wpa psk tkip with a strong passphrase that
will pretty much garauntee no one will get into
your network, if u use a wep key most likely
a hacker driving by isnt going to bother trying
to catch a million packets to crack it, since
over 60% of morons dont even secure it, but if you use wep change the password every week
or just use wpa with a strong password.

they can sniff traffic coming in and out of your
computer and use your internet , but they cant access your computer if you have a software firewall always on.

Wardriving isn't illegal. PIGGYBACKING is illegal. >_< Wardriving is just LOOKING for wireless networks. It's very legal. Hell, google for "WiGLE". Christ.

WTF, why is this shot like a hollywood film? Why does it sound like one, too? Wow, your computers can get hacked. That is a fact of life. And if you have a computer and AREN'T "a little tech savvy", than bullocks to you. And no, not *anyone* can do it, because then *anyone* would know how to protect it. And if war driving is so illegal, how did their tech guys check it out? /rant

Wardriving is not hacking; its scanning for open wireless access points. Active wardriving is perfectly legal. By the way, in some states, connecting to unprotected AP's is perfectly legal. Even if you use WEP encryption, you are still vulnerable to attacks.

Wardriving is LEGAL Stupid Ass, Where did you get your info from? Looks like having a BS (BullShit) degree in journalism doesn't make you any smarter then working at McDonalds banging Ronald. This goes to show how stupid you have to be to get into being a TV/Radio reporter. Its a good jobs for nerds/loners. After all, they can lie about anything and still feel good about it.
