An interesting story for you - Last year sequences of numbers appeared in chalk outside several London buildings. People were baffled as to what they were, until one guy observed that they looked like IP addresses. This was then checked out and it transpired that a group of guys were driving around London scanning for wireless LAN networks. They then hacked into these LAN's in order to gain access to the host networks for free internet access as well as hack into corporate intranet's.

Same can be done in any CBD in NZ , All this via wireless card connected to pringles tubes for an antenna , Gives you access from 10 km's away , if they are running a range extender , make it 50km , Shit , half the people with wireless networks at home don't even turn on Wep encryption. Bit like going out and leaving the front door open.

yeah been war driving in little old new plymouth, I mean saw someone do it, and even down there we found a few access points with no encryption. I was using a dick smith antenna that i had and it worked fine.

Even if its encrypted all you need to do is watch a bit of traffic go across and software can break the encryption. Certain candy lovers would know lots more about this than me though.....

If anyone is concerned about someone hacking into their wireless LAN networks take a look at 802.11x certification software. 802.1 being the wireless LAN protocol employed (there are several different versions) by virtually all wireless networks.
