Tasks / Osama CAN Come Break Into Your WiFi
The title of this task was originally the punchline of a joke I overheard in a bar in a small Colorado town--one of those strange condensations of unrelated fears that you get during full tides of national anxiety (witness 'piracy funds terrorism', Snakes on a Plane). Of course, Osama can come break into your wireless. And so can the FBI, in three minutes flat. But can you? Be your own Osama, crack your password.

And remember, network insecurity starts at home, so practice packet sniffing there. Steal your own identity while you're at it.
