What do you think is it ethical to know how to crack wireless networks or no. If yes then why do you think so and if no then why ? :)

that's simply just a dumbass question. knowing how to break into a bank vault is not the same as doing it. knowing how to steal is not the same as doing it. sheesh, some people.

Yes. As a programmer I am required to keep abreast with security concerns in my field. Knowing exploits allows me to better program to avoid causing the same sorts of errors. Heck, even knowing common password breaking schemes allows me to author more secure login functionality. Ethics only comes into play when there is a choice between an action that can have a result. Ethically, there is no difference between imagining exterminating an entire people and not exterminating a people. It is the action that incurs the ethical consideration and not the thought or knowledge. In fact, most people have thought of killing their boss or spouse at one point or another. Does that make them unethical or philosophers?

Good point.

you have a one-voter stalking you... Surely they must have something better to do

One way to test your security is to try and crack it yourself. So I would say installing a sniffer to try and hack your own network is ok. WEP is fairly easy to crack this way, WPA is another issue. Of course you may then be tempted to drive around in a car with a laptop cracking other networks - my advice don't (you will probably get caught eventually).
You always pass failure on the way to success.

Ethics in Computing 101 homework is it?!
It definitely isn't definatley

Yep, I must have. Oh well, whatever :laugh: I didn't really see anything wrong with my post. It was just a quick one :suss:
