"Yo, man. My friend has been stealing wireless off of his friend for the past few months, but they firewalled that shit now!"

"OK... so he needs his own wireless router?"

"Nah, man, I need to know how he can hack that password!"

"... Well, sure! I'm sure there's a programme we could install for him! Assuming this programme doesn't have a virus or keylogger piggybacking onto it, and assuming this firewall doesn't have a shut-down for too many misses, he should have a 64 bit WEP code in about... fifteen years?"

"Oh..."

"Is that all?"

"Yo, is there an easier way?"

"..."

At this point, I decided that I'd explain to him that we can't just wave magic hacker tools; at the best case, I'd need physical access to the router in question, or a PC that accesses it. I let him know routinely that this is not something you can just *do*.

"Yo, I'm comin' over Monday, you gotta show me how to hack, dawg!"

"........."
