Tuesday July 17th, I spent an hour and a half with a reporter from Fox 11 news in Los Angeles. They had heard about the use of a Pringles can antenna to "hack" wireless networks. They had also heard of something call "Warchalking". I spent some time with them explaining about wireless networks (802.11b) and explained how they work. We took a one our drive around Pasadena, CA and I demonstrated the use of a tool called Kismet that finds 802.11b wireless network Access Points.
The show aired on Sunday, 07/21/02 at 10pm (Pacific). On Los Angeles Fox channel 11. An archive of the show is available at: http://pasadena.net/media/ Frank -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
