Re: WARning

no.  Eavesdrop is just the name of a really cool packet sniffer for os x.

if someone is browsing for pictures you can even see the pictures they see.

To put the files on their computer I just used samba to mount their
shared drives.

Someone with an actual windows PC (hmmm maybe I DO have a use for
virtual PC) could do some serious damage by stopping and starting
services or doing really whatever they wanted.  All from the parking
lot outside their apartment.

I could also send net message to these PC's using smbclient -M theircomputername

bad stuff
