This is an online log of my Slackware experiences. Be aware that I'm also using this blog to cover basic and intermediate security issues that may not pertain to Slackware. This is my way of consolidating blogs (I've several of them).

Kismet for Macs - WEP/WPA/WPA2
Added KisMac to my Macbook.
This software is NICE!! I've used Kismet before (on a Sharp Zaurus SL5500), but the Mac version is VERY nice!
One disturbing thing (that I should put on my security blog) is that I saw a lot of WAPs in my neighborhood still using WEP. Three of them were Actiontec routers, which show the new rollout of FIOS from Verizon. Mine also shows up, but mine is set to use WPA2. There were maybe 5-6 WAPs using WPA (of maybe 10-12), but I was the ONLY one that I detected that was using WPA2. That's not good, IMO.
I may take a drive around tomorrow to sample the neighborhood. I'll parse that data and post it on my security blog.
