Along the lines of discussion we were having about securing networks, this
was posted today (or maybe yesterday...I have no idea...long weekend of
coding).
Anyways, it's an article by Tim Mullen talking about sniffing 802.11.
While it doesn't necessarily talk about gaining unauthorized access to the
network (which as we all know is possible anyway), it discusses sniffing
the network to extract sensitive information. By sniffing wired network
using dhcp-based access control, essentially the same process applies.

Also note the thread on vuln-dev discussing the vulnerability in @Home.
