>> Then break out Wireshark and start sniffing traffic. ;)

Yeah, I guess a hacker could do that. Then he could break my WEP, and by golly, he’d be in!

I might get suspicious of that car in the cul-de-sac for a week, though. Not really close enough to any neighbors for someone to do it from an adjacent house.

I don’t know which is more pathetic — a guy like me who has a really boring on-line life, or a guy who would spend a lot of effort hacking the boring wifi comms of a guy like me. :-)

I would set up a small self-contained box somewhere nearby but in a hidden area...and just let that sniff traffic for a while. Pick it up later and analyze the results.
