Hangout for experimental confirmation and demonstration of software, computing, and networking. The exercises don't always work out. The professor is a bumbler and the laboratory assistant is a skanky dufus.

Trusting Wireless Routing

ACM News Service: Researchers Study Wi-Fi Weaknesses.  2004-10-29: There are stealth attacks that can be made against ad hoc wireless networks and they seem to also apply for wired ad hoc networks too.  The attacks show up as a form of denial-of-service or traffic interception (and spoofing) attacks.  It is suggested that this could be mitigated by trusted relationships among nodes based on reputation schemes.  I wonder if there is a pattern that can be applied to spam as well?

Mike Martin's 2004-10-25 Enterprise Security Today article provides further anecdotal description. I am on a hunt for more information.
