Subject: Re: How to track down a wireless hacker
I lost who started this thread.
Of course you can track a wireless attacker due the fact that he is
broadcasting a trackable signal and you can do it pretty accurate. But he
question behind is "And then?"
What will you do?
1.
If the attacker is in house you might have to close all the doors, call the
security stuff and confiscate all the laptops running wireless. The attacker
goes arested and the rest of the user will take their case to the court,
sueing you for damages.
2.
If the attacker is, let us say in a car in the street and you have tracked
and localized him what are you able to do?
You can't touch him, neither arrest him, you have no legal right to do so;
probably you will se the attackers golden finger he hits the road.
The energy you are wilt to afford to track this freak down you had better
spent before in securing your Network.
It's a fact, that you messed it up and not he.
I guess there is waiting some homework for you...
Regards
Jan
