Conference hacking...
So I'm in a conference in San Francisco today and watching a presentation and some guy sitting in front of me is typing away on his netbook.
I look a little closer since it looks like he is tooling away in Linux and I can see clearly he is using tcpdump to capture wifi traffic here in the room and keeps trying to snarf mac addresses over-the-air to clone onto his machine and keeps trying different ones he find if it he gets him out the hotel network.
Am I too old fashioned that I consider this guy a total tool? Is this something all the cool kids do now and I'm just not so easy going?
