Don't have the answers you're looking for ...but more questions. I've heard from many professionals that various state wiretapping laws consider sniffing, be it wireless or simply dsniff, a form of wiretapping and it is illegal. Not sure of the legal consequences either. For the most part, wiretapping restrictions were targeted at LE and the admissibility of evidence. When individuals do it, I'm not clear if it is a criminal or civil act...but would love to hear more from anybody with knowledge in this area.

I am interested in the reaction that list members have gotten from various government agencies while netstumbling. Is there any clear guidance on the legality of 'stumbling? I am talking here about just 'stumbling, not set to auto reconfigure the card, just assessment and locating WAPs. You cannot be in the security business without being able to assess threats. In this business, paranoia is not paranoia, it is due diligence. I believe that anyone serious about security must be able to assess wireless zones, overlapping areas, buildings with multiple WAPs, etc. But have you been threatened by LE personnel in the process? Thanks in advance for your info. stonewall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Are your vulnerability scans producing just another report?
