Open WiFi


When using public wifi, it's usually an open network where you can just connect. After that, you may have to digitally accept a term of service, or something similar. This is the breeding ground for identity theft, account theft, and getting your machine broken into.

Jasager


Yes Man!

Jasager is actually a German word that means "yes man", as in the man who always says "Yes". There is a utility of the same name that sits and listens to the networks your laptop or mobile device tries to connect to, and it simply responds "Yes, that's me. Connect." and your device tries to connect.

Just don't. If you can get away with not using Wi-Fi, that's your better alternative. Wi-Fi is great from a convenience stand-point, which is why it's so inherently insecure.
