AirTraf 802.11b Security Package

An anonymous reader writes "Being ignorant of network vulnerabilities is a happy condition for only so long. Ignorance is bliss, right up until someone with rogue access drives away with your company secrets. This article covers information about AirTraf, an open source package, which performs a number of tasks, such as determining the Service Set Identifier of the access points, and the channel it is operating under. It can tell how many wireless nodes are connected to a given access point, as well as that point's total load. AirTraf is capable, too, of polling a number of sniffers through a central polling server in order to collect the most current information. The least of your fears should be the leeching of your Internet connectivity. Industrial espionage is a growing reality that you must confront."

  1. Real 802.11b security by grub · · Score: 5, Funny

    FACT: The Illuminati is using 802.11b as a carrier for their Mind Control Rays. When "reputable sources" speak of 802.11b security, they really want you to work closely with an 802.11b source for a while so you receive their programming.

    Real 802.11b security can be achieved by the following means:

    Purchase a 15 meter (~50') roll of tin foil.

    Wash your hair with baking soda. Don't use commerical brands, they have 802.11b signal enhancers which tune your noggin to their Mind Control Ray.

    Once dry, wrap your head in a clockwise fashion with the tin foil. Ensure you cover the top of your head, your ears and base of the neck. You can poke small holes in each side to allow sound to reach your ears.

    Sit back and laugh knowing that you have true 802.11b security and are safe from The Illuminati's Mind Control Rays.

    They might have written the trojan code very, very, very small and hidden it between the lines ;-)
