Sniffer running continuous, sitting in the passenger seat with an
antenna.   I only have to drive by at a time someone is likely to be
online (after dinner, just after getting home, etc.).  Trying to break
encryption, however I do have to capture more packets, which means
more time.

But sniffing a MAC is ridiculously easy and certainly does not require
a long time.
