Yes, most probably. Most WiFi routeurs act as a bridge between internal wired network and wireless network. The routeur part occurs between internal network (WiFi +LAN) and WAN port. Thus, ARP attacks can occurs between the two networks, meaning a wireless station can attack a wired one and vice-versa. > Can the wired host trick the switch on the Linksys into forwarding the > wireless clients packets to him via the regular wire? As shown above, definitly yes. Then it can deploy cleartext attacks against WEP, as an example... -- http://www.netexit.com/~sid/ PGP KeyID: 157E98EE FingerPrint: FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE >> Hi!
