The plans are out there being underbid. Nothing was so simple to do as it is now for those who like to find the easy answers there are ways i would rather not think about.


Lock up your wireless LAN
Hackers are having a field day with unsecured wireless networks. Here's how to keep them from snooping around your company's wireless communications.

The driver of the unmarked van outside your office may not be on a long lunch break. He might be hacking your wireless local area network (WLAN) using a new technique called war driving.

New hacking activities seem to pop up daily, keeping pace with the growth of wireless LANs. The reason is obvious: a lot of wireless LANs are completely unprotected. As the number of WLAN cards grows, so will the opportunities for hackers to break into wireless networks.

You need to put your WLAN under lock and key, but current standards won't do the trick. Your only hope: set up fail-safe procedures and keep an eye on encryption.
