Thanks for the comments Konrad! You raised some good points, but let me clarify a few things. I did mentioned WEP had been cracked (briefly, because it's a given), and I think if you re-read the article, you'll see I mentioned that WEP doesn't necessarily determine security (paragraph under 2nd picture), and stated that VPN, VLAN, IPsec or other measures can be employed.
As far as whether or not I actually connected to something, as a professional, I should tell you that doing so would violate my ethics, along with probably breaking the law. That's why I stated in the beginning that I used a personal firewall to keep me from connecting to anyone's network. By studying my firewall's logs, I can tell you honestly, I could've easily penetrated most networks. I shared my story with a NBC news reporter, and even he didn't want to push trying to break into anyone's network. I hope you can understand my position on this. Thanks again for the comments... NEXT?!
