AuckLUG wireless penetration and defence presentation a success

Thank you to all you Aucklanders who turned up for my humble presentation last night. I presented a few slides on the theory of wireless cracking, and then we jumped right into a practical demonstration.

After 3 hours of sweating, crawling under desks, and fiddling, I’m typing this entry from the Mike’s Kitchen in Northgate, where the new Funky Penguin Hotspot is now up and running. (Credit card payments are not exactly working yet, but I can fix that on the back-end)
