What has Samuel and his friend just performed?
Samuel is a high school teenager who lives in Modesto California. Samuel is a straight ‘A’ student who really likes tinkering around with computers and other types of electronic devices. Samuel just received a new laptop for his birthday and has been configuring it ever since. While tweaking the registry, Samuel notices a pop up at the bottom of his screen stating that his computer was now connected to a wireless network. All of a sudden, he was able to get online and surf the Internet.
Samuel did some quick research and was able to gain access to the wireless router he was connecting to and see all of its settings. Being able to hop onto someone else’s wireless network so easily fascinated Samuel, so he began doing more and more research on wireless technologies and how to exploit them. The next day, Samuel’s friend said that he could drive around all over town and pick up hundreds upon hundreds of wireless networks. This really excited Samuel so they got into his friend’s car and drove around the city seeing which networks they could connect to and which ones they could not.
