at home, and my school 23 miles from home, i always pick up a 54.0mps wireless signal called "linksys". what gives?
-
Most people dont change their original SSID.
-
It's probably another network around your neighborhood with a Linksys router, with the default "linksys" SSID.
-
It's actually a secret invitation code for you to download all your porn -- just log on and download away!
There's another secret code called "default" -- you can download porn and MP3's there to your heart's content! -
Course you could always drive to Lowes and do something like this

can the actual owner of the connection trace us if we use such unsecured wireless network signals............
-
Probably not but the Police can.
Do not connect to any unknown hotspots, it is unsafe. -
-
can other ppl access our HDD if we connect to unsecure wireless local area network and internet signal
-
Only if you have it setup to share your hard drive.

^^
can they see who connects to their network........... i mean computer name and stuff like that -
Yes they can see who is connected.
-
They can see the computer name and the mac address of the wifi card installed. Most war-driving is done with add in card and seperate antenna. Once the act is complete, the card is discarded, along with its mac address.
Anything you send over a unsecure wifi can be picked up by other users on the network, easy if the router is left set to default login & password. Always secure your wifi network with the strongest encryption supported.
