Detecting 802.11 Discovery Apps
Joshua Wright writes "I have written a white paper on detecting 802.11 Wireless LAN Network Discovery applications.
Wireless LAN discovery through the use of applications such as NetStumbler, DStumbler, Wellenreiter and others is an increasingly
popular technique for network penetration. The discovery of a wireless LAN might be used for seemingly innocuous Internet access, or to be used as a "backdoor" into a network to stage an attack. This paper reviews some of the tactics used in wireless LAN network discovery and attempts to identify some of the fingerprints left by wireless LAN discovery applications, focusing on the MAC and LLC layers. This fingerprint information can then be incorporated into intrusion detection tools capable of analyzing data-link layer traffic.

In treating this subject Plekhanov contrived completely to ignore the most urgent, burning, and politically most essential issue in the struggle against anarchism, viz., the relation of the revolution to the state, and the question of the state in general! Two sections of his pamphlet stand out: one of them is historical and literary, and contains valuable material on the history of the ideas of Stirner, Proudhon and others; the other is philistine, and contains a clumsy dissertation on the theme that an anarchist cannot be distinguished from a bandit.
A most amusing combination of subjects and most characteristic of Plekhanov's whole activity on the eve of the revolution and during the revolutionary period in Russia. Indeed, in the years 1905 to 1917, Plekhanov revealed himself as a semi-doctrinaire and semi-philistine who, in politics, trailed in the wake of the bourgeoisie.
We have seen how, in their controversy with the anarchists, Marx and Engels with the utmost thoroughness explained their views on the relation of revolution to the state. In 1891, in his foreword to Marx's Critique of the Gotha Program, Engels wrote that "we"--that is, Engels and Marx--"were at that time, hardly two years after the Hague Congress of the (First) International, engaged in the most violent struggle against Bakunin and his anarchists."
The anarchists had tried to claim the Paris Commune as their "own," so to say, as a corroboration of their doctrine; and they utterly failed to understand its lessons and Marx's analysis of these lessons. Anarchism has failed to give anything even approximating a true solution of the concrete political problems, viz., must the old state machine be smashed? And what should be put in its place?
But to speak of "Anarchism and Socialism" while completely evading the question of the state, and failing to take note of the whole development of Marxism before and after the Commune, meant inevitably slipping into opportunism. For what opportunism needs most of all is that the two questions just mentioned should not be raised at all. That in itself is a victory for opportunism.

NEW YORK -- Michael Capellas quit Monday as the No. 2 executive at Hewlett-Packard Co. just hours after a newspaper reported he is a leading candidate to take over troubled WorldCom Inc.
The news sent shares of the top printer maker and No. 2 personal computer company down sharply.
Newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal, on Monday reported that Capellas was the top candidate to take over John Sidgmore's chief executive officer job at WorldCom Inc. , which has filed for bankruptcy.
WorldCom, the telecommunications giant that has racked up more than $9 billion in accounting problems, declined to comment. Sidgmore had been looking for a replacement since Sept. 10, when he said he would step down.
Capellas will also leave the company's board of directors, HP said, and the president spot will not be refilled.
While some investors and analysts said Capellas' departure had been expected, one analyst said his leaving was a negative for the stock because he had been in charge of operations and was helping to drive revenue growth to HP's promised targets.
The announcement from HP pushed its shares down by more than 10 percent in morning trading, making it both the most actively traded stock and the biggest percentage loser on the New York Stock Exchange.
An HP spokeswoman declined to comment on whether Capellas was headed for WorldCom. She said the move is effective December 1.
Capellas, who was previously chief executive officer of Compaq, has reported to Carly Fiorina, HP's Chief Executive Officer since HP bought Compaq in May after an extended, messy battle with HP shareholders.
Fiorina said Capellas' departure came as the company meets its targets for integrating the two companies. For instance, in order to win shareholder approval for the deal, the companies vowed to meet targets such as cutting 15,000 jobs this year.
Investors and analysts said that Capellas' departure was not unexpected. Capellas had been promoted to Chief Executive Officer at Compaq in 1999 and had been welcomed by investors who viewed him as a competent manager, one investor said.
"He did have a period of time of being No. 1 and calling the shots at Compaq," said John Rutledge, a portfolio manager at Evergreen Technology who owns HP shares. "I think for anybody who is capable and like that, moving back into the No. 2 shot after the merger, he probably was willing to look at opportunities."
The move could indicate that Hewlett-Packard is going to report strong quarterly results next week, one analyst said.
