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."

    This is like painting your house the same color as the hill behind it, or better yet, using mirrors to create a bunch of fake reflections of houses. Not using encryption over wireless is akin to having no key-lock on the front door. Obscuring your house does little to keep someone from taking your precious collection of Atari 2600 cartridges.
