Some news items showed up in the past couple of days about vulnerabilities in wireless device drivers. These vulnerabilities were apparently found by the use of a 802.11 Fuzzing tool called lorcon (http://www.802.11mercenary.net/lorcon/). Apparently, David Maynor and Jon Ellch intend to demonstrate taking over a laptop by the use of a wireless driver vulnerability next month at Black Hat USA 2006. I personally intend to go only to defcon, but this will be cool. :) Disclaimer: My employer, Beyond Security, are the makers of the beSTORM 2nd Generation Fuzzing product. Gadi.
