For Hilary Mantel Only

 

Although  the thought of a wireless network attack can be terrifying, what is the  real vulnerability associated with an open wireless network? Are users  of an open wireless network really that vulnerable to a nefarious  attack? Why or why not? If you can think of multiple answers, please  choose one on which to focus.

You  must include at least one scholarly citation. This is not a "book  report", so please use your citation to underpin your understanding of  the subject matter but do not simply summarize your source. You are also  not allowed to use quotations from your source, nor are you allowed to plagiarize.

Responding  to a classmate’s post requires both the addition of new ideas and  analysis. A particular point made by the classmate must be addressed and  built upon by your analysis in order to move the conversation forward.  Thus, the response post is a rigorous assignment that requires you to  build upon initial posts to develop deeper and more thorough discussion  of the ideas introduced in the initial posts. As such, reply posts that  merely affirm, restate or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous  post(s) and fail to make a valuable, substantive contribution to the  discussion will receive appropriate point deductions.

 Zenzo, I'm not sure what you mean about not being a limit to the range. Does that mean from my home in Maryland I can attack a Wi-Fi user at their home in Boise Idaho? Please clarify, because I think I may not be understanding exactly what you're trying to say about the lack of limit to the range.
