The Def Con security conference has open wifi, and people make a game of trying to capture packets of others trying to log into non-SSL websites. If successful, they post the credentials on the “Wall of Sheep”.

One year I got the idea to try to exploit the Wall. I didn't succeed but had great fun trying!
