RE: Wireless Security (Part 2)

["Craig Wright" <cwright () bdosyd com au>]

Ian,
Cases where you can detain a person who is there are not analogous to remotely attacking a server.
 
Next, the rights of LE are not those of the general public. 
 
In case where there is a system on your network you do not have the relivant rights in possession. You may be lucky and 
not be charged. This happens. Often LE will turn a blind eye for the "greater good". This does not make the action 
warranted.
 
"then doing whatever is necessary to stop the trespass from continuing." block access. On a network when you already 
know of the attack this is not as difficult as many of the analogies that fly about.
 
What happens if you attack the wrong system?
 
Regards,
Craig
