  1. Re:Beware of strangers bearing gifts on Schneier Says 'Steal this Wi-Fi' · · Score: 1

    You make me want to sniff your mac address, impersonate your mac address, commit a crime using your mac address on your access point, and then report it to the police. I don't see what the point is of naming your access point as you did when even if I didn't impersonate you the chances of you figuring out who actually did it is unlikely after the fact. I'd suspect even if you logged every packet the chances someone has revealed enough to determine their identity. It is not like a person intending to commit a crime logs into their own email address, and a half technically literate person might change their mac address. Of course it really doesn't matter unless you happen to come across them while sniffing people at a local coffee shop. Of course by that point the police are probably going to consider you crazy and ignore you.
