802.11
Security
Wireless networks have opened up new possibilities for all types of
users. From typical LAN environments to wireless ISPs to ad-hoc
networking, 802.11, the most popular wireless LAN protocol, is changing
the way we think about networking. Wireless networks provide new security
challenges for users and network administrators alike. The lack of
physical security, access to free auditing tools that double as attack
tools, and the ability to monitor traffic without risk of being noticed
make wireless networks an easy target for malicious users.
