Re: Security is Holistic

While drive testing in the Metroplex (can you hear me now), I ran Net Stumbler on my laptop. 146 AP's in about 60 minutes. One third (mostly business) were WEP enabled. The other 2/3 were all open, probably with no MAC authentication, and most likely DHCP. A few of the open AP had changed the SSID, but most were defaulted.

I bet a lot of them were in trusted zones too, but it's like picking the neighbor's tomatoes; even if he doesn't have a fence then not yours for the taking so I don't try to connect.

Regards,
