A lot of people dont use WEP and MAC filtering though, especially in the UK. However there was the case recently of one person taken to court for using someone elses wireless, so does that make these items illegal or the could it only be determined as illegal if they then use that wireless access which is seperate to the wifi detective? Just interested.
Its been increasing though. I've been a wardriver since 2000. I collect AP's like baseball cards. I have over 14,000 in my collection all nice and mapped out. It use to be the ratio for secured to open was 1:20 or something close to that. Now its something like 1:5-1:7. I think the word has gotten out.
