#2Someone is eventually going to go to prison after stupidly uploading evidence of themselves wiretapping a wireless network they don't own.
There's also an interesting double standard here: would it be quite so acceptable to casually listen in on people's GSM calls or wireless house phone calls?

Sorry for the author of that post.

Is that actually also legal to wiretap networks that they own? What about the classic method of setting "Free WiFi" using simple tools and a 3G phone? Does that make it "legal" to wiretap in US, at least?

Firesheep is just an automated GUI for what we've been doing all along. Ettercap, wireshark, etc are far more flexible and can be used to execute a wider variety of attacks. Firesheep, for example, won't ARP poison on a wired network.

Does there exist legal precedent for this? It would seem hard to argue for expectation of privacy on an unsecured wireless network on a protocol without TLS.

Wireshark won't ARP poison either, afaik.

Might be this guy, trespassing in the building is a lot different than accessing an open network from a public place.
