Quite easy - if you have a wireless card in your PC (or MAC), you can view what wireless networks are out there. (A list of names of the wireless networks will come up) If there is no password on a network, it is as simple as clicking on the network name, and voila, you're in. Now all you need to do is connect to the other PC's that are connected to the network (via network connections, file sharing...etc) and hack away. If a person didn't lock their network, chances are their file sharing options are wide open too.
