Hello, my name is Timothy, and I am addicted to sniffing 802.11.

The problem is that these wireless protocols were NEVER designed with security in mind. 802.11, regardless of the flaws in WEP, is painfully bad because the single-shared-secret model is hideous. 802.1x has only single sided authentication and still too many single-shared-secrets.

The rule is basically you can't trust wireless network hardware designers/specifiers to get crypto and security even REMOTELY correct.
