Security Basics: RE: Telling prospective wi-fi customers they are open to hacking

RE: Telling prospective wi-fi customers they are open to hacking

Approach it from the standpoint that they "might" have security needs
you'd like to talk to them about. Cold-call if you will. If they say
no, offer a free audit...which you sort of already have. You
essentially get their permission to do what you've already done.

Not tried it personally, but it's also something I've been thinking
about.

In the end, let us know how you did it.

Subject: Telling prospective wi-fi customers they are open to hacking

I am attempting to increase my income from the business without putting
myself in legal harm's way. I have done a quick drive-by and noted
around 20 or 30 open AP wi-fi setups around and I would like to present
myself as the person who can fix them (and yes, I can) without them
immediately thinking I am attempting to do the wrong thing somehow.

So what I would like to ask everybody who has done this is how you did
it and kept out of trouble. Any help appreciated.

Greg.
