Hi, I'm a security student, I was wondering about the threat (Actual hacking community threat rather than theoretical threat) of pro hackers who are looking to break into WLANs for industrial espionage/trade secrets/etc? (has there been any major incidents or have they gone unnoticed?) I know there a sniffers freely available, which show open APs and WEP enabled nets. A hacker needs MAC spoofing & WEP Cracking tools to get past 802.11 basic security.
How secure are extended policies, like TKIP WEP, RADIUS-EAP, VPNs? I know no-one will talk openly about hacking techniques, I am trying to gauge the level of threat any given company faces. I am in the UK, and I am not mobile (car & computer sense). So I can't cruise with a sniffer to find some examples of open APs. I would love to see case study data from a US city, or even better an IT industrial zone. (anyone involved with the netstumbler wardrive?). My project concentrates on enterprise WLAN security. Thanks, any help greatly appreciated. -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
