Well, I think that I have to disagree with KorpDeath. It is quite possible to sniff passwords
and even the occasional PIN # off neighbor traffic. Next, a little bit of dumpster diving; gotta sort through my neighbors trash and see what kinda goodies are ripe for the pickin'. Maybe
some old bills, who knows. Sure the majority of the traffic will be plain old browsing, but it also depends on what type of neighborhood you live in. This is all highly illegal, off course, but there are folks out there that just don't care about that.
Nevertheless, the idea...

edit: OK, so maybe not...(just read the full article), but does anyone have some cheap old MAU's. Who knows, maybe a thinnet NIC might get some packets. Might be some use for all that old junk.LOL
