Hi John,

I think if it's just a LAN and no publicly routable ips are involved
then that is your business however if a friend says you can try to
compropmise their system that most likely violates their ISP's TOS and
is still illegal. Even universities don't condone students breaking
into each others machines on dorm segments or running their NICs in
PROMISC mode.
