Re: [PEN-TEST] Penetrating Wireless Networks

[Rafael Coninck Teigao <rafael () SAFECORE NET>]

After reading the faq, I started thinking:
    wouldn't be easier to just use some kind of software encryption,
like IP-Sec?

    Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it would be possible to
set software on the gateway at the base station and on the mobile
machine to encrypt the hole traffic. After all, AFAIK, the wireless
device works solely as a bridge.

    What do you guys think?

    []'s,
    RCT.
