Re: Wireless network at compitition.

A bit of information on security and wireless networks. It doesn't exist. 802.11b/a/g are all really crappy for security. If you plan on using a WEP key then it is found out very easily using a program like AirSnort or even Ethereal with a plugin or two. I like the idea of setting up a wireless lan at regionals though. Wireless is extremely fun to play around with and I hope that someone will be kind enought to set one up at the SC regional. Anyway, just some info. on wireless network security. Also, if you find that a network is insecure then tell the admin of the network or fix the problem yourself and then tell the admin. Don't just leave it vulnerable.
