Anyone hear about the new wireless vulnerability? If so, you have any supporting documentation that explains what was found and a how to doc? FYI, here is a snip from the Reuters report http://www.reuters.com/news_article.jhtml?type=technologynews&StoryID=145973 <snip> NEW YORK (Reuters) - The security system for the leading wireless system that links office computer systems is vulnerable to hacker attacks via a quicker and easier method than previously known, a trade group said on Friday. While computer security experts had previously uncovered weaknesses in Wi-Fi, a standard for wireless data communication also known as 802.11b, the latest discovery is being treated with more concern because it is more feasible and takes less time to carry out. </snip> Thanks, PenTestDude ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus Security Intelligence Alert (SIA) Service.
