Building a Private Infrastructure
In the majority of cases, when companies build their wireless infrastructure
they often fail to account for privacy concerns. Security is often an
afterthought, and by then it is a simple and easy matter for someone
with a laptop and wireless NIC to use freely available software to roam
directly onto your wireless network and have almost unlimited access to
your entire intranet.
Wireless users are more sophisticated as they look for ways to compromise
the privacy of your wireless network. The most common tools
include “sniffers” that can listen to the network to get user passwords
and steal confidential documents transmitted directly from your e-mail
server. These actions are no less than corporate espionage. The most
common attack is from people who understand the building blocks of
your network and sit just outside your building, roam onto your wireless
network from their cars, and record all your network activity.
