'Adventures Of A Wi-Fi Pirate' traces the trail of a computer consultant with a seemingly flexible ethical standard through hotels, schools, business, and the general out-of-doors, snooping on what other people are doing on their computer, and often causing trouble when the other party refuses to admit to and fix their security holes. Intertwined with each of these 22 stories of a nosy consultant with too much time on her hands and penchant for mischief are practical explanations of how a network or computer was accessed, how the victim should have prevented the intrusion, and what the reader can do to prevent the same thing from happening to them.
Readers will gain a new awareness of how open many Wi-Fi networks and computers are, and how to significantly reduce the chances of their own wireless hardware being accessed by unauthorized parties. Fun to read, and if you're not careful, you might learn something!
