Re: Pentesting a Fixed WiMax environment

[arvind doraiswamy <arvind.doraiswamy () gmail com>]

All the cards there seem to be supporting only the 802.16e (mobile)
WiMax. If there's a fixed SS at a client side -- a BS at the ISP - and
another SS at the other end..what can I do?

Or are you saying I can just buy a card and sniff traffic without
connecting at all..like wireless(802.11)?

Lastly what do you mean by 'packets are packets'... didn't quite
understand.Sorry.

Thnx
Arvind
