Good question. I'm not sure. Since the tunnel is from the PC to the Network,
I imagine a person would need to gain control of the PC. Otherwise, they are
just on the local WAP network.
At the very least, this user should be running WEP enabled. At least that
would keep the most basic losers out.

Subject: 802.11b and VPN security


Scenario:

A home user has DSL and wireless LAN, and this user uses the Internet to VPN
into work. Is the security hole primarily between the WAP and the user, or
could a hacker piggyback into the VPN connection as well? Have any of you
ran into this scenario yet?

If someone has links to more detail on this it would also be appreciated.
