Penetration Testing: Re: [PEN-TEST] Penetrating Wireless Networks

Re: [PEN-TEST] Penetrating Wireless Networks

After reading the faq, I started thinking:
    wouldn't be easier to just use some kind of software encryption,
like IP-Sec?

    Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it would be possible to
set software on the gateway at the base station and on the mobile
machine to encrypt the hole traffic. After all, AFAIK, the wireless
device works solely as a bridge.

    What do you guys think?

"It is the flawed assumption that security mechanisms can be adequately provided
in layers above the operating system. A perfect security application cannot make
up for flawed or absent security features within the OS kernel. It is the
classic example of building a castle on a swamp. You can build a strong
fortress, but it makes no difference if it slowly sinks into the ground."
