Detecting Wireless LAN Users

technosavvy writes "With wireless home networks and applications like NetStumbler becoming so popular, it's surprising that there are so few consumer-oriented applications that help monitor who is connecting to your wireless network. Bob Brewin of ComputerWorld lists three tools with this purpose in mind in his article "Tools for detecting rogue wireless LAN users"." I just like running etherape.

    Why in the heck would you want to do that?

    John Stossel has shown on his 20/20 TV segment that cities make things WORSE when they run it. Privatize the city water system, and you get cleaner water cheaper. End the city's monopoly on cable TV providers, and you get competition.

    Get the phone company out of city regulation, and you get competition.

    The same is true over and over and over again. Some cities in foreign countries have been privatizing the roads (so you only pay for what you use, rather than distribute it to people who don't even use the roads), and have seen wide success in those ventures.

    I don't want the city controlling anything, especially my data. This idea is frightening to me, and I'd gladly vote with my feet if something like this happened.

    Yeah, no fucking shit you're not a security expert. You're a goddamned idiot who doesn't know a single fucking thing about security. Listen, keep your stupid "thoughts" to yourself to protect others from the plague that is your stupidity. I must reiterate that I hate you. I really do. After I finish posting this, I will be buying a large hoagie. I will digest this hoagie. Once it has been digested, I will defecate on you. Get ready son!

    Stop sucking dudes off in public restrooms, ya fag. (Note: I will be checking your other posts to insult any further stupidity you have displayed on Slashdot, assclown.)

    When we'd find a wireless lan user, you know what we'd do with him? That's right, we'd hog-tie him and then drag him out to the center of town and handcuff him to a tree. Next all the kids in town would take turns sodomizing him. Boy, it was something to see all those little bastards fuck the hell out of him. After every last drop of underage spunk was spent, next the elderly would get their turn. No, they didn't sadomize him, but after they got done beating him with their oxygen tanks and canes, he'd wish they had. After the elderly came the women. At this point, everyone that was gathered around watching would cover their ears, because the women then all proceeded to bitch at him at the same time. I'll tell ya, I've only seen it once and I don't think my hearing has ever fully recovered. Finally, we'd all just go home and leave him to the stray dogs and ferral cats. Those critters would pick him clean right down to the bone. I'll tell ya, you didn't want to be a wireless lan user back in my day.
