        <description><![CDATA[Our agency rented office space from the city in a building that also held a branch office for the library.  One day I noticed that I was picking up a wireless LAN in the building that didn't belong to us, and it was completely unsecured.  At first I thought we had someone running a rogue access point off our network, but then realized the network I was connecting to belonged to the city.  I took my laptop into the library, and sure enough, the signal strength grew.  When I brought this to the attention of the librarian, she told me that was the connection she had set up for her personal laptop so that she could take work home with her.  A quick call to the city IT department verified they had no idea there was an access point in that building.  (Their net admin was my Cisco instructor years ago - we stay in touch) The WLAN went off the radar the next day.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hi,A good article on wireless lan security. Thanks.I am an internet security consultant and find it incredible that people invest in wireless lans (or wifi) without even doing a simple security audit. The proliferation of wifi in corporate America is incredible .. whats the point of having the most secure network security and audits every 6 months if you expose your network to the public.. I have been talking to even Fortune 500s who think wifis should be installed just because they are cool without even bothering about the wireless lan security crisis.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This report was a godsend for me. Now I see what happens when you hide your head in the sand and pretend &quot;it won't happen here&quot;. It seems the fire department of the city I work for decided to get a wireless lan without consulting me, the city's CTO. Now I am faced with the prospect of shutting the lan down or making sure it is secure. Personally I'm tending toward shutting it down (if nothing else, to show them who makes the decisions), but I realize that I have to keep all options open. Now at least I have something to go on for a security policy.]]></description>
