NoCatAuth: Authentication for Wireless Networks

Posted by michael on from the look-ma-no-wires dept.

Lisa writes: "Even an open community wireless network needs to keep track of who's using it, says Rob Flickenger, who describes the authentication system used by NoCat in this article." This is at least partially an ad for Flickenger's new book, but since I plan to buy the book anyway... Update: 11/17 14:53 GMT by M : Yep, this is a duplicate. But community wireless needs more participants, so why not read it again? :)

    Goddammit!

    I can't decide whether I should go out and get a nice pizza or get drunk.

    I can't do both because if I eat the pizza, I'd have to drink a couple of sixpacks of beer to get drunk. If I start drinking, then I can't go out and get pizza anymore because the pizza place guy would give me crap about my being drunk.

      Stand up for yourself man! You'll never get anywhere if you're intimidated by someone who works in a pizza place!

      Well, what can I say. I've got no self-esteem.

      Do what I did.

      Had some pizza.
      Got drunk.
      Just had rest of pizza for breakfast.

      I'm about to throw up, but I'm happy (well, I'm not happy, but that's because of girls, or the lack thereof, not because of my diet).
