tbh I've cracked more wep keys than you could imagine and messed up a fair few routers along the way.

Personally I've always felt very guilty about it and nowadays don't do it (unless its a quick splash check my email and dash). You should really respect the fact that some people are just not technical and would be really stressed out when all of a sudden their internet connection starts to play up.

I've always thought about what the poor souls where going through in a few instances where I noted heavily hijacked APs the owner would be rebooting their router every 5 or 10 minutes in such instances I've banned mac addresses of the abusers.

SO moral of the story is

" NO DONT STEAL YOUR NEIGHBOURS BROADBAND " and in all fairness I think it is theft if you're intentionally using someone elses broadband.
