Wireless

I keep getting reminders of just how much more complex security issues are with wireless networks. Here's a good reason never to pay for wireless access. Setup a laptop in a public place as a wireless access point with some dummy pages stolen from T-Mobile Wireless and start farming credit card numbers as people pay for their day's surfing.

Eric, wanna setup a node with a high power Antenna at Miller Park or parked outside a good coffee shop just to prove it can be done?

I'm very busy fixing other people's messes.. (and a couple of my own) but this could be fun!

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.
