I know this is way off topic, but a good friend of mine was invited to do a segment at defcon. Here's a link to some of the coverage. The's a great pic in there that sent me out of my seat laughing. Makes you wonder how secure anything is anymore!

Check out Airespace

They have a good solution to the wireless security issues.

Matter of fact I can find rouge units that pop up and cut all traffic to them. Sit back and wait for the phone call. I had one guy take his Netgear back to BestBuy 3 times for a replacement before he called us.

But hey thats part of the game to enforce network or even IT policies, you have to have the muscle and know how to back it up.

But of course they cost $$$$$$$ comparied to the AP you buy at BestBuy also.

The guys a Berkley cracked 802.11 WiFi a while back, airespace is now in there campus and is publicly allowing hacking of their wireless network to help them make it more secure. They have not been broken yet, yet because it will happen at somepoint.
