Subject: You prob. know about the wi-fi distance gun-- ... but just in case you don't, it's a hoot. Cheers, Ted http://www.theregister.com/2004/08/03/wi-fi_aerial_gun/ Wi-Fi 'sniper rifle' debuts at DEFCON By John Leyden Published Tuesday 3rd August 2004 11:43 GMTConventional Wi-Fi aerials are all well and good but they don't really cut
it if you want to impress fellow hackers and scare the general populace. Forget a modified Pringles can - what you really need at somewhere likelast weekend's DEFCON shindig is something that looks like an M-16 but with its firing mechanism replaced by a 14.6 dBi Yagi antenna that can get you
