Furthermore if I access an online resource and I notice that the information
ends and the URL has a &page=1 on the end and no link exists on that page to
say... &page=2 is that illegal?
On the same note, if I notice something that looks like a SELECT statement
in a URL (due to excellent coding) is it illegal for me to modify that
SELECT statement to return other information?
Is the legality of access to the resource something that must be explicitly
granted to me or is it some abstract property depending on the content I've
accessed? Is it legal to randomly fuzz web service arguments without knowing
the data that it will return?

Usually systems of this nature will have an EXPLICIT notice that you cannot
access data on it unless you're authorized OR will require (as it does now)
authentication.

Did the ICCID count as authentication if it is not explicitly labeled by
AT&T as such? A field like:
&password would clearly be illegal to brute force.

An analogy to a case with CLEARLY AND EXPLICITLY defined law regarding
private property doesn't really seem to fit.

So what grants you legal access to aol.com (HTTP port 80 get / )?
I'm confused? Does search engine indexing grant legal access to online
resources?

By the same logic, then yes you would.  Which is why the statement “if a
system has no password, then you have a legal right to whatever data is on
it” is complete horse hockey.



Don’t take technical advice from your lawyer, and don’t take legal advice
from people on security lists.

By that same standard.. if you leave your house unlocked.... does that
give someone the right to enter it?

just my thoughts

Yes.
The FBI was investigating the AT&T incident, presumably the AT&T incident
was what the fed were serving against.
What possible valid search warrant could be executed? There was no hack,
breach, illegal access of data, or anything else for that matter.

If you leave a system online with no password which allows you to scrape
content you have a legal right to scrape that content.

I doubt the search warrant will hold up in court.

Do you have any actual basis for saying that?  Sure, the warrant might be
bullshit, it might be solid - the article doesn't give us enough info
either
way to tell.

"Auernheimer was also arrested in March for giving a false name to law
enforcement officers responding to a parking complaint."

Sad.  The dude may have the intelligence to pull the hack, but not have
the
wisdom to not dig a hole deeper. Just man up and take the frikking parking
ticket. ;)
