Theres apps out there which can figure out the keys used on the encryption of most wireless access points pretty quickly.
Sniffer has a wireless module which can detect if rogue machines have entered your network, also useful for finding out if people are using wireless nics without you knowing, there was an interesting find in the states a while ago in a company who thought they had no wireless network, hidden in the roof was a laptop with a wireless nic and a utp nic plugged into their lan, as you can imagine they were a tad surprised ;-) IT manager got a new laptop out of it tho'! jeremyb. -----Original Message----- From: Jonn-Paul Lambie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 15 August 2002 10:20 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: OT: ADSL Setup True, I saw the same news report, having setup a number of wireless networks it takes an extra 10 mins configuration to add encryption and access point security so people can not do this.
