I was looking around researching wifi security and saw that somebody canread somebody else's cookies when they hook up to his LAN via a wirelessaccess point. He says he can view passwords to all sorts of accountsand routinely goes into people's accounts but "doesn't do anything bad."Anyway, what prevents somebody at a hotel from doing the same thing?Could any jackass on a hotel network set up a sniffer and get prettymuch everyone info?
