Why expend all that effort when you can simply sit back and let the feline do all the work?
Its a great match of tiny-tech and feline stealth.
If your cat is 5 miles away mapping wifi hotspots, what practical good is that going to do anyway?
I personally have a virtual wlan on my wireless network specifically for honeypot hunters. When you connect to my network, you’re presented with a prompt to connect. If you connect, you get a nice little script that reboots your machine. Relatively harmless, but they don’t do it again. Oh, and I get all of your machine’s information while I’m at it.
MAC spoofing, FTW. Some people are just stupid and think technology is safe out of the box. You can’t fix them. Anyone using WEP is deliberately ignorant.
