Peddling Snake Oil as Security
Richard Forno, 2002-04-17

Wireless security vendors are trying to create a market where none exists. As always, the key to better wireless security is better practice, not new products.

Richard,

Your live in a dream world...Perhaps you should take a sabattical from writing and speaking and go work for a 15,000+ employee company. Your "technical" suggestions are great if you're building a company from the ground up. However, in "ther real world" you can't just go and rebuild a network infrastructure. I'm not going to sit and go into detail, but you're rhetoric is not realistic. Rogue wireless AP's are going in everywhere and it's REALLY easy to sniff and spoof MAC's (netstumbler, ethereal and ethercap) and crack even 128 WEP... Believe me I've done it, and I'm just a script kiddy....GET REAL!!!!
