SKYCATCHER TOUCHES ON THE BASIS OF THE FOLLOWING MANTRA:
[If wireless networking was safe, computer companies would use it.]
People are sold wireless routers and BT home Hub devices with talk of Encryption and it seems to work, for the sales people anyway.
Think about this for a second, the password is requested, or offered, (blind) and then accepted, so any handshake, needs to be in the clear and therefore can be monitored.
I don't suppose, given the shambles (of the cctv downlink and no encryption) in recent years, that taking control is impossible.
