Quote from: kmfkewm on July 27, 2013, 06:13 amI would argue that it is even somewhat safer to use a neighbors WiFi than your own internet, although this is only for two specific reasons. The feds can trace live WiFi but if they don't trace a connection while it is live there is a good chance that they will never be able to determine that you were using the open WiFi for the session they are interested in, if you spoof your MAC address then it is even less likely....It is worth noting that if you are rooted even if you are using WiFi there is a good chance you will be fucked, I am not sure the accuracy of WiFi Positioning Systems these days but I imagine if the feds can gain remote control of your WiFi card that they can remotely geoposition you accurately enough to determine who you are, though in apartments that share walls they might not be able to differentiate between you and your neighbors.I'm not sure what you mean by this; are you coming from the perspective of an active hunt for a person when they're actually in the area? If so then I can see what you're saying, but if you just mean when they aren't even within range of the WiFi signal to begin with, I have no clue how it could be harder for them to identify you after the fact -- none whatsoever. Have a reference handy or something?I'm not saying you're full of it, mind you, I just have no clue how it could make a difference and would like to.
