In this context, I wanted to point out an amazing article by Rob Flickenger, who used the Mac OS X hack EtherPeg (which uses a packet sniffer to pick up GIFs and JPEGs off a LAN) to develop montages of the web surfing images coming over a wireless LAN during a conference keynote. Rob's article is an amazing piece of writing, a demonstration of a cool Mac OS X and wireless hack, and a thought-provoking demonstration of the privacy implications of open wireless networks, all in one. The article is called "Tapping the alpha geek noosphere with EtherPEG." It's at http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/weblog/view/wlg/1414. This is really mind-bending and brings the new reality of wireless networks in public spaces viscerally home. -- Tim O'Reilly @ O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. 1005 Gravenstein Highway North, Sebastopol, CA 95472 1-707-829-0515 http://www.oreilly.com, http://tim.oreilly.com ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
