[ale] LUG at GT Meeting - 09.23.2009 - Cracking Wireless

[Ryan Curtin]

The Linux Users Group at Georgia Tech presents

"Cracking Wireless"
  by Ryan Curtin

Sep. 23rd, 2009, 7:00 PM
College of Computing Building, room 52

Overview:

  What do you do when your ISP suddenly cuts out on you?  Do you call them and
wait hours on hold to finally get through to a human being so they can tell you
they see no problems in your area?  No!  You crack your neighbor's wireless
password and hope they're on a different ISP!

  This week's presentation will discuss the use of tools such as aircrack-ng,
wepcrack, and airsnort for cracking both WEP and WPA.  The legal ramifications
of such cracking will be mentioned, as well a high-level glance at the theory
behind the cracking, with relevant references.  Then, the use of these tools
will be demonstrated on a sample network.

Upcoming presentations:

  2009.09.30:  Windows to Linux Roundtable
  2009.10.07:  DDWRT

Hope to see you there!
