Take the 2-minute tour ×  xkcd 440  I was wondering how one
would go about the above? That is, how would you    1. Create a
wireless network from your computer? I suppose you'd be
emulating a wireless router or something, (and obviously in this
example you'd want to name it "linksys" so the target's laptop

your evil work?  I'm not exactly looking for a step-by-step or
anything, but I really haven't a clue how this would work and
(i'm warning you, :P) am looking for a pretty detailed answer
here.  (I hope this is on topic; just point me where to go if
not. :)  share|improve this question Creating a wireless network

wireless cards may be able to create an infrastructure type
network, but I'm unaware of any. –  Bob Apr 26 '12 at 3:01 @Bob
I thought about that, but as far as I know most computers won't
autoconnect to an adho
