This will be exploited by people without a moral compass. What are you trying to get at? The author isn't suggesting this as a life hack for free internet, he's just showing that it can be done.

"The author isn't suggesting this as a life hack for free internet"

The HN Title is (I can't see the actual article as the machine is hosed):

  "How to get Gogo in-flight wireless internet for free"
and the URL is

  gogo-in-flight-wireless-internet-free
Both of which, I would suggest, propose an article about "How to get internet for free", specifically "How to get Gogo in-flight wireless internet for free".

Or am I missing something?

> Or am I missing something?

Yes, you're missing something. The article is a disclosure of a security vulnerability that has already been reported to the company responsible, including notice that it would be published and a request for confirmation that it has been fixed. (Edit: but your response is reasonable - I can see how the article title is misleading.)
