802.11pwned

802.11pwned, or 802.11p, is not a new technology based off of 802.11 wireless networking. It's a dedication to hardening security of the protocol by auditing, exploiting and publishing findings to force vendors to update technology rather than the popular model of "security by obscurity", where vulnerabilities are patched with a "routine" update.

This blog is dedicated to doing this. With many off the shelf hardware and freely available software, you are able to audit your own wireless network to harden it from attacks from the inside and outside.

Wireless networking is not the most secure technology in the world. Wireless packets are constantly being broadcasted in the air and are susceptible to being captured by malicious or curious people. If you want security - unplug your wireless router and go wired Ethernet.

Cantenna Ideas

I have 2 sets of disposable pans from the Dollar Store: a circular pie pan and a rectangular lasagna pan. Only costed me $1 each for 2 pans for cantenna testing. Once I get some things done around the house, and let my downstairs neighbors go to sleep, I'll get testing ASAP. I have a 15 foot USB cable that I can run out on my porch to test everything! I'll make it very similar to my "mushroom cantenna".
