Yes I explain that all the time to coworkers. I have a neighbour whose Galaxy Tab something regularly tries to retrieve payload from malware sites via my WiFi access and it provides open ports with HTTP servers running on them! Most likely I can capture videos and sounds but I don't know how. It would help me identify the victim at least, because due to the beauty of WiFi you don't even know where the attacker is :-) Willy
