Wardriving is horribly easy. It really is. Just open up your laptop in any public place and by the time you crack open your Firefox you’ll have 3 or 4 open access points to choose from. Either its "linksys" or "default" or "philips" .. It does not really matter. You’ll be able to surf away…

We brake the hiatus with episode 5 : Superhero syndrome. A extra long geek-lifestyle show EVERY geek should listen to.
