Wireless Networks are not Immune to 'Sniffing?'
by Laura Chappell [Released July 17, 2000]

If you are one of the many who are looking at wireless networking and thinking -- Wow! That's hot stuff! You need to think again. Some of you may have seen me sniff the passwords right out of the air at BrainShare -- yup -- nabbed an email passwords without working up a sweat. I'd recommend that you spend some time sniffing your own network traffic to find out what's crossing the wire (or flying through the air).
