Although I'm sure consulting will prove lucrative, is there any other work (such as R&D, security product testing, racecar driver) you would like to pursue in the future?
Note that the 400 access points we discovered were just during THAT evening's war-drive.
I war-drive for one reason--to guage the growth of wi-fi in the Northern Virginia area. It's been fascinating. Driving last year I'd pick up 20-40 access point within a few miles of my home. Now, I pick up several hundred on an hour long cruise around my town. That phenomenon keeps me going out on a monthly basis.
We visited Old Town Alexandria for this NPR event. We combined it with a "war-walk" and it's a shame they edited out that portion of the adventure. The inebriated queries regarding our yagis were an amusing portion of the un-edited mini-discs.
If you would like to see the setup that was used, visit:
Of course, maybe this Slashdot article is a "heads up" for the legal department of Click To Secure--they didn't know they were about to be beaten up by MS goons.
They probably aren't allowed to use "click" in their company name, either. Didn't MS invent that, too? Oh. That's right. Bill stole it from Steve. And Steve stole it from Xerox. Blah. -- Beetle
With the SecurityFocus website ranked number 1 on my list of sucky websites--thanks to a ton of java, adds, frames, et al. crap--it's not like we were ever able to read anything there anyway.
1. What are your future education goals (general or advanced degrees you intend to pursue), concentrating in what, and at what university/college?
2. Do you intend to write a book (or collaborate on one) in the near future, and if so, what will be the subject (and if collaborating, who with)?
3. Do you feel that you are a "security expert/consultant" and provide a specialized/unique service to the information security community, or are you still struggling with finding your niche in the community while trying to justify titles such as "security expert/consultant"? -- Beetle

We used this same setup for a similar war-driving demo for the Baltimore Sun a few months back.

Just to give Bill and his buddies a "heads up"... There's a security testing product on the market called Hailstorm by Click To Secure.
