wireless moles
August 21st, 2001Dave and Doc are in Colorado at Jabbercon.
Doc tells of how a kind soul plugged in an 802.11b base station to bring connectivity to the masses. Neat.
Sounds like an interesting new industrial espionage technique. Get into the building, under some anonymous clerk’s desk, throw in a cheap hub to split the connection and a wireless base station, and you’ve got a conduit right into their network. If they don’t do 802.11 themselves, they won’t even consider that they could be compromised.
