Wireless hacking becomes more widespread these days. Many people drive / walk through town with their laptops trying to find unprotected wireless networks to do all sorts of things. Most harmless one would be to use your connection to surf and download, but it could also include downloading your files, spamming using your computer, installing malicous programs on your computer aso.
But this is no article on how to protect yourself, I probably write one soon. The Ethical Hacker Network published an interesting article by Daniel V. Hoffman about essential wireless hacking tools. The article has four chapters: Finding Wireless Networks, Attaching to the Found Wireless Network, Sniffing Wireless Data and Protecting Against These Tools.
Daniel reviews some tools in each chapter always giving you more than one choice to try out and finally use the tool that suits you best.
