\_ CISSP Wannabe asks: As I read the Electronic Communications Privacy Act
\_ of 1986, the intentional reception, recording, decoding, and decryption
\_ of wired and wireless electronic systems is illegal. Therefore, typing
\_ snoop, tcpdump, or ethereal on a system (for purposes other than
\_ troubleshooting) is illegal. Furthermore, it would appear that
\_ netstumbling and wardriving is also illegal.
\_
\_ Can someone disprove me?
Not without violating the "intentional reception" clause you just
quoted. Unless there's something in there about "someone else's
transmissions". :-)
Do you have a handy link to the offending text? Or would that
violate....
