Hello,
If by any means this posts causes some aggervated people, then I'm sorry and it can be removed.
I just finished watching a clip on my local NBC news about wireless security. Two guys drove down a street with a device and located several computers on wireless networks. The duo then proceeded to hack into the computers and alerted the people involved. I've seen a large number of these news clips and even did a little research online. I found this site by going to the MSNBC site and searching for Wireless Security articles in the Tech Section.
I know nothing about wireless internet, but I would love to learn more information. I'm interested in the basics and the security aspects. Also the different programs involved in finding all the different wireless users. I have no intention of hacking or any of that crap and to be honest I want the information for self gain. I've had an idea that wireless and overall internet security is going to be a growing field over the next ten years or more. Any book recommendations or sites online to view would be great. I'll be getting a wireless equipped laptop here soon and my intentions are to visit the TMobile hotspots or on campus and use the WiFi. However I'd like to be secure since I do a fair amount of trading online.
Thanks everyone,
Lance
