Would you be surprised if you could turn on your laptop anywhere in the city and find yourself on someone else's network? How about if you were able to connect to the Internet? Or see someone's private data go flying by? It's all possible and it happens all the time - all over the country. This panel will cover 802.11 wireless ethernet networking basics, as well as detecting and monitoring wireless networks with active and passive methods. Community free networks, custom antennas, and methods of securing wireless networks will also be covered.
