Have a neighbor with an unsecure wifi connection?

Ah, apartment complexes. Sure, most people have some sort of encryption enabled, but I'm sure a few are using WEP.
Arveene:
I found at least 4 unsecure wireless networks around my new place I'll be at in a few days. Linksys routers, and they're using the default admin password. How can you resist? ???

It's easy to block you out if someone notices something weird with their connection. In short, you need a service provider to connect to the internet. To get from one point to another, you connect through a series of machines, using cables or other equipment that someone ultimately "owns" the rights to.
Also, if you don't think there's a better option for you, I don't know why everyone is recommending that you connect to an unsecured wireless network. It's probably no better than yours. Better make sure your own network is secure first of all.

No one ever said it was a GOOD idea. If you absolutely must have internet at home without a line at your home, it's one of your only options.

There's a guide floating around torrents, I think its called 'Hacking Wireless Networks for Dummies', give it a read, a good way to past time as well.
