Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Laws regarding unauthorized access of a computer network" exist in many legal codes, including the U.S. federal government, all 50 U.S. states, and other countries, though the wording and meaning differ from one to the next. However, the interpretation of terms like "access" and "authorization" is not clear, and there is no general agreement on whether piggybacking (intentional access of an open Wi-Fi network without harmful intent) falls under this classification. Some jurisdictions prohibit it, some permit it, and others are not well-defined. For example, a common but untested argument is that the 802.11 and DHCP protocols operate on behalf of the owner, implicitly requesting permission to access the network, which the wireless router then authorizes. (This would not apply if the user has other reason to know that their use is unauthorized, such as a verbal or written notice.) "
