Yes, but to prove bad faith on their part, you need to produce your logs. In other words, you don't know it's OK to snoop on them, until you've snooped on them. Are your logs admissible in court? What if their little brother spent the afternoon playing with the system settings and left it so that it would bind to the first access point it came across?
Not sure what log you are talking about. There's no log that specifies that your router is encrypted. If you are contacting law enforcement to tell them that you've been hacked, you aren't using an open router. Also not sure what you are talking about with the little brother scenario. If someone's little brother played with a setting, it would not enable the computer to authenticate to a foreign WAP encrypted with WEP or WPA. About 60-70% of all US WPA/2 sites are crackable with a reverse lookup or "rainbow" table. WEP is insecure, but widely used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Test Your IDS Is your IDS deployed correctly?
