Hi all, Now its time to release some informations i found during the development of the new Wellenreiter decoding engine. The ESSID of a wireless network could consist of any chars (not only simple ASCII) and should have a length up to 34. So it is possible to raise your protection against wardrivers in a very simple way: --> Use only non-printable chars in you ESSID <-- That's it. How would you display those in a sniffer tool? In a report? :-). I guess most of the wireless scanners have now a real problem :-). I hope this makes the world a bit better. Don't think now this is a "Big" protection, plan and implement your networks/protection like wireless is a complete open/shared environment is the best protection ever. Btw. I still looking for a security job in Switzerland, so if someone got a contact for me, please drop me an email.
