« Review of ZyXEL ZyAIR B-3000 | Main | What is the Sound of One Ear Listening? »
Shmoo offers Airsnarf, a proof of concept that a fake gateway page could act as a honeypot for legitimate hotspot users: The existence of Airsnarf, which puts up a fake but realistic looking hotspot gateway page, means that 802.1X authentication could become a viable method of hotspot logins faster than anticipated.
As I’ve written several times recently, while 802.1X clients aren’t built in to Windows before XP and Mac OS X before version 10.3, Meetinghouse and Funk have software available that WISPs could license and distribute to users of practically all major platforms, including Linux (kernel 2.4) and Solaris.
802.1X doesn’t entirely obviate rogue access points, it does make it much much harder to extract or intercept traffic.
