[george at dicenews dot com]

if i have an unsecured wirelesss network
and a neighbour or a passerby in a car
uses it to do very naughty things
and the police or ISP investigate
can they get the MAC number
and prove that it wasnt my laptop that did the naughtys??

I cracked my WPA network in 36second on an old P3 1Ghz laptop which i will
explain. But people think that WPA is secure which it is as long as you have
a good password
BT home hubs use 64bit encryption out of the box total waste. When they use
such a low encryption programs can easily get the key.Kismet is one of them.

I will bring my Netgear router 2 laptops one running a freely available
security distro which if you see how big there community there are lots of
people using it.

I will show you a few ways to make it more difficult(if someone wants to get
on they can circumvent most security addons in most routers eg MAC 
addresses)

If anyone wants some disks I will get a few copied.

But let me know asap. so can be ready on Wednesday..

Cheers,

Dave
