[olug] generates thousands of counterfeit access points

[Timothy G. O'Brien]

A non-Linux friend sent this along to me. Anyone seen/set up/know anything about this yet?


Black Alchemy's Fake AP generates thousands of counterfeit 802.11b access
points. Hide in plain sight amongst Fake AP's cacophony of beacon frames. As
part of a honeypot or as an instrument of your site security plan, Fake AP
confuses Wardrivers, NetStumblers, Script Kiddies, and other undesirables.
Fake AP is a proof of concept released under the GPL.
Requirements
Fake AP runs on Linux (tested on RedHat 7.3)
Perl 5.6 or later
One or more Prism2/2.5/3 based 802.11b cards with the CVS version of the
Host AP Driver for Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 < TITLE="http://hostap.epitest.fi/>" TARGET="_blank">http://hostap.epitest.fi/> working
