Netstumbling and US Law

[George Toft]

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?

Regards,

George

What does that tell you if your project is ahead of schedule and under
budget?
