In reading an article link (found on slashdot),
NetworkWorld.com "Behind the scenes of MIT’s network"
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/011907-mit-your-take.html?page=1
and then following a Related links teaser from there,
NetworkWorld.com "What makes Harvard's net tick"
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2006/030606-harvard-net.html
In that article, I found an intriguing description of one of their
(Harvard's) home-grown tools, now open-sourced:
<excerpt>
PacketFence is an open source, network-based solution to the problems
posed by open academic networks. It provides passive or in-line
operation, network registration, worm/bot detection/isolation,
user-directed mitigation and proactive vulnerability scans.

Looks like a pretty serious tool

Is this something that can give security on wireless networks?
