First, I highly discourage anyone using anything to "break into" a network that they do not have permission to use. Doing so is a serious crime in many areas and can result in jail time, fines, etc. The fact that they are using encryption should be taken as a sign that the network is not open to "public" use.

I'd also point out that many modern networks are using WPA2 and the encryption is very, very difficult to break, unlike WEP, which was a useless encryption standard since day ONE.

I've written about WiFi Security as well as using WiFi on cruising boats. You can read the two articles here and here.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
