Wireless Camouflage?

Anonymous Coward writes "Black Alchemy's Fake AP generates thousands of counterfeit 802.11b access points. Hide in plain sight amongst Fake AP's cacophony of beacon frames. As part of a honeypot or as an instrument of your site security plan, Fake AP confuses Wardrivers, NetStumblers, Script Kiddies, and other undesirables. Fake AP is a proof of concept released under the GPL."

    Let's hope that this concept is never applied to physical security. Imagine working in an office/cubicle with 32 keyboards and 64 mice, rj45 and rj11 jacks everwhere, throw in some extra pc cases to fill every inch under your desk -- with only one of each that actually works

    First, uncloaking networks. Then, invisible cloaks. Now, cloaking networks.

    Next thing you know, we'll see a post about the invention of visible cloaks.

    This won't do anything to hide an active network, people will just look at the data traffic instead of the beacons.

    No, I'm a hacker, and I can tell you, this has us beat. Trust me on this one: this will work. I promise.

    Also, run your telnet daemon on port 123. That will stump us as well.
