Well, you can sniff for a while and find the WEP keys, opening up
the network for your use....

(Unless they're really smart and using IPSec or suchlike. Our office
WiFi point is "wide open" at the Ethernet level, but it's not terribly
useful since without some valid IPSec keys you're not going to be
getting any outside access from our router.)
