[info-tech] Handheld Hacking
Quick Survey: As we become more mobile in our school invironment we become somewhat more vulnerable to hacking. I would like to know how others are handling security with iPod Touches, iPhones, Droids and other easily concealed handheld devices. The threat of a student taking control of the network is very real what with the sale of actual intended hacking devices such as the Silica Handheld and other apps such as Pimi intended to collect network data that can be analyzed for passwords later. How is everyone planning on handling this? Thanks, Tony Richardson, Network Administrator / Director of Technology Humboldt Community School District trichard...@humboldt.k12.ia.us
Re: [info-tech] Handheld Hacking
Not that I don't worry about these things also, but I really am more concerned about staff logging into computers for students with their accounts, leaving their computer logged into the network and door unlocked when leaving for 30 minutes or so, and just dumb stuff like that.

You're right I get that too. How do you educate them? What is the answer?
