DefCon World Record Wi-Fi as Comic Strip

carbolic writes "Remember last summer's WiFi Shootout, which took place during the DefCon hacker convention?

This month's Wired magazine condenses the toil of weeks of planning and testing, and trudging up and down mountains in 100+ degree weather into a captivating 8-panel comic suitable for any Sunday Edition (or cubicle wall)."
