I thought I would start off with something fun and something I know is a hot topic, wireless networking. Call it WiFi, 802.11, wireless, or wifie. The hotspots are practically everywhere. From the coffee shop to the bar you can use you wireless laptop or PDA to access all the internet has to offer. This however can expose the user to a threat that they can’t see or detect. It can also expose the provider of the wireless access to some security risks of their own. Even if a company has implemented wireless security it may not be enough.
Over the next few posts I will introduce the methodology followed by some individuals to find, exploit, or capture a wireless network. I would also like to give some suggestion on how to defend or protect against these threats. These posts are meant to act as a learning and warning for some. While I know some could use this information for malicious purposes it is important to understand the weaknesses that exist, and how to protect against them. As far as those who do conduct malicious activities on systems, fair warning, we catch people like you every day.
As tools are discussed you will be able to find youtube videos on my channel to see the software in action.
