Forbes: Flying Drone Can Crack Wi-Fi Networks, Snoop On Cell Phones describes the little UAV that the folks at The Rabbit-Hole have been putting together. It does the usual Wi-Fi snooping, and can present itself as a GSM cell tower which then routes calls normally (using VOIP to the T-Mobile network), listening in on cell phone calls.

Holy crap, this is great.
My friend Adam and I have been kicking around the idea of a tethered dirigible which would aircrack available wifi base stations, then multiplex and broadcast as "PirateNet" or some such. We are swimming in password-protected wifi here in Seattle, bandwidth everywhere locked up for no good reason.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
