Hehe. No kidding (about the egghead professional thing)! A few years ago I was piggybacking off of the neighbor's wireless, as I just moved in to a new place. Since they didn't change the default router/WAP settings, I did, using a similar scheme as the (*BUSINESS*) down the street. Since they no longer had access to their own router I decided to play kind: I had an identical model router/WAP (Netgear) that I set up in the following way: their internet-> their router-> my wireless card-> my computer-> Ethereal-> my NETGEAR-> (can you see where this is going?)...

Needless to say, don't use plaintext to transmit your email passwords. Thanks to (then) Ethereal, I was able to obtain way too much information about these people than I should have. And gimme a break, this is/was the only "black hat" thing I've ever done...

Now that I think about it, I was allowing them to share *their own* internet connection *from me*. I feel like such a dick.
