Hi Machiavel,

Sniffing wi-fi doesnt need authentication. You just
need to catch radio waves in the air.

I disagrea with you, it is like saying "I am in the
parking lot so I am a
part of the crue in this building" when you are only
on the building's
terrain. You need to authenticate to be a part of
the network. (in my
opinion)
