Description: network security This paper discusses the security of the wireless networking standard IEEE 802.11b and describes a “war driving ” field trial carried out to check the security of wireless networks in Auckland’s Central Business District (CBD). The results showed that the built-in security features of the IEEE 802.11b standard were often not configured appropriately and in many cases not even used, making the networks vulnerable to attacks. A geographical positioning system (GPS) was used to record the location of the access points (APs) and could have been used by a hacker to launch specific attacks.
