    Only if it's unsecured or you know the password.

    THE TRUTH
    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

          Spoof your MAC address if you do connect.

              Yep, It's a goog idea. But sniffing your traffic could expose your identity on the network if you check email, log it to websites,...

                Your average joe just sits at the pc and does what they have to do ... as long as you are not taking the pish with their bandwidth ..
                no body will ever know you are there.

                  If you're planning to use Backtrack, just make sure you have a compatible wireless card and the wireless network being ah..."tested" uses WEP encryption.

                  If the network is unsecured, needless to say Backtrack is not required, just connect!

                    Sure, as long as its unprotected or you have the password.
                    Take note that using somebody elses wireless without the owner's permission is illegal and in some countries can be punished with expensive tickets or jail

                      Assuming the average Joe is just that and the bandwidth/speed can handle the extra load.
                      How would you know?
