I have seen this also in apartment complexes with cordless phones, Wifi routers, Wireless video, Wii controllers (upto 4 per systems), microwaves, it is crazy the number of devices in 2.4Mhz. The alternative could be to use some of the older 802.11A routers and NICs since it's at 5Ghz. or you could get a cordless phone at 900hz, 2.4Mhz, or 5Mhz. There is not alot of RF spectrum for consumer devices and the more things we get that are wireless the more competition you will see for the RF frequencies.

Another thing I do because I am a router guy is to ping and trace route the range you suspect. With ISP's some times using there own host names you can find smaller subnet ranges with ping times. Host normally have very different reply times than routers and ture network devices. So the wire address and the network broadcast of a smaller network inside a class C IP network can some times be identified by a similar ping time. Also trace route will give you host names. I think it was already stated but reverse DNS also can help ID a smaller subnet range.

A new kind of attack that was found by Mr. Lee & Mr. Louis (well back in 2005) and will be demo'ed soon at upcoming T2 conference in Helsinki.

The tool's name is "sockstress" and is not going to be released since the vendors of affected TCP stacks have not fixed them yet.

If this is true and is released there could be sme real issues for all of the internet.

Kev have you taken your Ritalin today?

lol just kidding!

Anyway I have an article here that covers some of the basics on what Kev was trying to say..

Basically explains how to change your MAC address and gain access to hot spots. I do not recommend doing anything dumb from hot spots as it a matter of time till you get caught and get in trouble.

Congratulations this is very good news!!! Let me know if you need anything and make sure to take care of mommy for a few weeks.

At first I thought this was a lame story since I figured you could just password rover the routers and switches but... It is possible... even with password recovery that is on by default, can be changed so that the boot break process in all the routers and switches could not accessible.. In highly secure networks you might want to turn off the boot break process and this prevents access to the confreg commands that can allow you to reset the password. So if the City really wanted in they would have to wipe all the devices and reset them. To re build a large network from scratch it could take weeks to months since 90% of the people on the network do not know the per-port design and how the VLAN's and links are routed. Now I am not agreeing with the administrator for locking other officials out but with sensitive records like HR he really could of been protecting the city to meet compliance like PIC,SOX, hippa & more...

Interesting little story...

Wow... Interesting post Rich. It just goes to show you the community is very open to both traditional and non-traditional ways of life. I do not think I could deal with more than one woman but for those that can more power to them.

Depending on the requested service it could be LM or NTLM with a challenge hash. Cain can also brute force and dictionary attack this kind of hash.

same here!

I have seen the OQO and I have to say it's nice but the price will get you, and the battery life is not the best. I would also say go with the Nokia but not the N810 since it only has 1 micro SD slot but get the N800. The N800 is the same as the 810 but dose not have a keyboard or GPS but it does come with (2) SD (Full size) slots that support up to (2) 16 Gig SDHC cards. I have one with (2) 8 GiG cards and it is too cool. It also takes a normal Nokia cell phone battery so you can get extra battery's cheap on e-bay for like $4.00. My N800 last for 4-7 hours with wifi and 8 hours just with music. I would highly recommend the N800 and you can use a bluetooth GPS and keyboard if you want. All in all I am very happy with the N800 and as a side note it is hackable and can run custom Linux distros and have a full open source community making all sorts of cool apps and tools for it!
