I got conflicting information. When I 'phoned and inquired, I was told
"Oh, we have free wi-fi!" When I visited I found a WEP-"protected" AP
called Lab05. I asked and the bar staff knew nothing about it. jr
looked on Weds night and found the same. So either
a) 'we' try to find out more (guess who ;-)
b) someone decides to try one of the widely avaiable WEP cracking techniques (?)
c) we decide we don't need wifi that much.
b) That is possible, I think we might need permission from the network
owner to "test" the security of the wireless network or something like
that ;)
The Aircrack VMware image is compatible with a USB Wirless dongle I
have. Just had a look on my N900 and there is an aircrack package for
it, no idea how good it will be, maybe we could do a test
c) The Kings didnt have wifi, not sure how long the LUG has been meeting
up there.
