Re: Commercial Wireless access points

[leifg () doh state nm us]

Trust me, they're using either a or b for the WAPs.

Taking a look at Alvarion, most of their products appear to be 802.11b, 
unless they're using the BreezeNET DS.5800 which is strictly a backhaul 
(meaning no client endpoint connectivity).

There are boatloads of tools for wireless sniffing and detection.

Commercial Wireless access points






A few local cities in our town use commercial wireless access points. They
have towers setup. They use I think wep encryption if that. Has anybody 
been
able to sniff out these commercial access points? Or do you know of any
tools?
http://www.alvarion.com is one of the product being used.

They use 802.11 not a or b just 802.11.
We are a security consulting company. A local city is running a beta 
program
using this wireless technology. That have asked us to do security analysis
on their wireless network.
