The 802.11 Technology Gap - Case Studies in Crime
Jill Slay, Benjamin Turnbull · 2005
Much has been written discussing the security vulnerabilities with 802.11 based networks, and what constitutes legal and illegal activity within the area. However, there is little academic literature available discussing whether this technology is being exploited for criminal purposes, and if it is, for what purposes. This paper investigates all public prosecutions where the accused have misused 802.11 wireless networks and the consequent outcomes. From this, it can be observed how similar crimes are being investigated, and possible future crimes may be examined.
