How is it illegal? This is open spectrum we are talking about. No law
against listening... in fact 802.11 operates under the principle that
your equipment listens to frequency constantly to determine if packets
are addressed to your receiver.

Hi,
It's illegal to snoop mails and personal information, but if group is
friendly, if you have a good reason to do it and if you ask consent or
ask for objections to demonstrate it, and if you present it in a
non-revealing way (e.g. blur sensitive parts of the snapshot) I think it
would be appropriate.
Regards,
Emre

does anyone know what the legal/ethical implications of running dsniff
to demonstrate poor wireless security practice?
i'm at a conference, ran dsniff for about 5 minutes (no logging) and
saw about three dozen different mail logins go by. i want to say
something to the group, but afraid that i might really offend/upset
people who think i'm spying on them.
