Wireless Access

Greetings Mangs,

So I moved into some new diggs but its going to take awhile before I get internet access (fuck you comcast). I've been trying to piggyback on some wireless connections I see out there, however all of them are encrypted (people are learning!).

I'm curious - is there a way to boost my reception for wireless signals? So that perhaps I might find an open channel that might be close but just far away enough to not pick up? Like wrap tinfoil around my wireless card antenna? Software settings? Tape a coat hanger to it? I'm serious..

Doesn't DC execute people for wireless hijacking?
