The Trouble with Wireless . . . . .
Matt Falenski knows how convenient wireless Internet can be. With wireless, people can link several computers in their home or business, forming a network without rewiring. They can search the Internet on a laptop while sitting on the back porch or in the bedroom. But there is a dark downside to wireless Internet, said Falenski, an independent computer consultant and network and PC coordinator at Seton Hill University, in Greensburg. When people free themselves from wires and cables, they can become the unwitting puppets of hackers -- high-tech thieves who can tap into a wireless Internet connection while sitting in the house next door or a car parked down the street.

"Who knows if someone in the business or home next to you is ... using your Internet, looking at your files, what have you," Falenski said. "You have no idea where (hackers) are or where they could be." There's even a term for the act of driving around to find wireless access points. It's called "war driving." Falenski knows wireless Internet is popular in this region. In his job at Seton Hill, he regularly drives around the campus with his laptop computer, searching for wireless access points that students set up without permission. Once he found an access point on a street just a few blocks from the campus. And Falenski, who has wireless Internet access at his home near Seton Hill, once accessed it from a building at the college. Falenski said a friend has a pocket PC with a wireless card. "He says he's actually been in Greensburg and connected to an access point just by having it in his pocket," Falenski said. Most home-computer users or small-business owners will go to an electronics store, spend a couple of hundred dollars on equipment and hook up their own wireless. That can be a recipe for disaster, experts said With a laptop, a wireless card and a free program downloaded from the Internet, anyone can scan for wireless networks. That trouble can come in the form of hackers who want to find personal information, or people who use stolen Internet access to download illegal materials such as child pornography. Still, even the most stringent precautions might not be enough to dissuade a determined hacker. "(Average consumers) probably don't worry about security as much as they really should," Mosco said. "All it takes is one 16-year-old kid with a laptop and wireless card."
