RE: Tutorial on Wireless packet sniffing

Wouldn't it be a good idea to at least run a whois against the domain before
accepting the legitimacy of it?

Maybe that is the real story here - it was weird enough for you to comment
on its weirdness, but not to question its authenticity.

How To Sniff Network Traffic
Neighborhood Network Watch Home Network Awareness Program

[snip]
Finding a Network
We recommend to start with your own home network and then eventually move
onto those of your neighbors. Eventually you could begin looking at
networks that are
local to your community, such as cafés, local eateries, libraries, and
parks.
There are many ways you can find a network to monitor if you do not have
one of
your own or if your ready to move onto monitoring networks other than your
own. On
the next four pages are four ways and places to find wireless networks
that maybe
suitable.
[snip]
The Command
The command in figure 1 will be the full command that you will be typing
into your
command line to run TCPDUMP to capture all network traffic from the
network to a file.
TCPDUMP will collect network traffic that is coming from the following
types of
applications: email clients, instant message clients, instant relay chat
clients (IRC), file
transfer protocol clients (FTP), and web browsers.

Interesting screenshot about halfway down of what's on the PowerBook.

I need to see a Chiropractor.
I've been shaking my head side-to-side so much lately my cervical
vertebrae need some help.
