    easy WIFI radar

    Has anybody heard of Easy wifi radar?
    http://www.makayama.com/easywifiradar.html

    I watched the video on youtube(also on the their site)and it looks to me to be illegal? Even if if does work you are stealing someone else's bandwidth.

    The program itself is not illegal, but it depends how you use it. it is illegal to use someone else's wifi without their permission but in public places where they share their wifi, there is nothing wrong with using this program.

    A useful reminder Uri

    People have been prosecuted and convicted both in the USA and the UK for unauthorised WiFi use, and quite possibly in other countries too

    I also noticed it only works with Windows XP. Wonder why they haven't upgraded it to work with Vista and 7 ?

    Probably not worth their time and effort.

    Vista picks up real nicely. So, it is not needed.
