Dont worry, Im sure someone will tell me Im gay for noticing the belt buckle and mentioning it over mentioning the proximity and vicinity of the stars to the "happy place"
Yeah... and WEP is a joke, I can crack a WEP access point in about 5-10 min depending on how much traffic is going across it when I start attacking and depending if they are using 64 or 128 bit encryption. Recently they just found a way to mathematically crack WPA TKIP as well. Prior way was brute forcing which took ridiculous amounts of time and computing power. Even with the home encrypted AP's that are using strong encryption, most people still use weak PW on the router itself and those can generally be cracked as well.
This was just a test to make sure I could get everything working correctly. I will be doing this for a client real soon as part of a vulnerability assessment of their entire wireless infrastructure at a bunch of their locations. This helps to show how far their signal extends outside of their buildings should a hacker decide to sit in the parking lot or across the street and try and gain access to their network or data traversing the Wireless network.
Basically, I use a GPS and integrate into other software so that I can create a visual representation of exactly how far your wireless access point emits a signal. This one was done in an open courtyard but try and imagine if their were buildings there and I drove around them, I could pinpoint exactly which buildings or homes have which access points and then use that data to narrow down my targets for further attack. I will create one this weekend of me driving around my block and then overlay it to show how I can pinpoint access points into each individual apartment. Granted I am using a significantly stronger antenna that hackers would typically use so that they can gain access to a network from a much greater distance then what the antenna built into your laptop would allow.
I know a guy here at work looking for one for his son. First motorbike but 800 may be more then he wants to spend. He said he looked at one prior for 400 and that seemed like allot to him. I just dont think he understands what a good one costs. I will show this to him.
personal opinion is.... NEVER,,,NEVER put a ziptie, pipe, or any other foreign object on your throttle tube. If it sticks, or comes loose, YOURE DEAD... spend some money and save a life. It could be yours.
I have an Astars... I Crashed in my Astars last year HARD..... no rips, no tears, nothing ... held up like a champ.. Just a little dirtier now. The vid of my crash is great. Nick's teknic blew out multiple seams when he crashed.
So for the next security project Im on for work, one of my responsibilities will be to use GPS and wardrive and overlay wireless access points and their signal strength onto google earth for the client. Basically you have a GPS unit that is tied to the wireless sniffer software you use to log longitude and latitude during your perimeter analysis. Then you have to parse out the data into a kml file so that google earth can use it. Today I managed to get everything running and, I walked around the courtyard outside just to make sure the GPS, sniffer, and parsing script to generate the overlays was working right.. There were tons of AP’s but I just put a few on the map to show what the overlays look like. I will also do circular overlays as well for range but like I said, this was just a test to see if I could get everything running right.. Pretty cool actually. Gotta love google earth.
