I want to start by saying that this document is not new. It’s floated around the internet for awhile, but it’s still very, very relevant. It discusses various different wireless threats (802.11, Bluetooth, et. al) and some easily executed exploits to attack these protocols. I think anyone who reads my blog is already very, very [...]

This simply is not the case. There are a few [...]
Network Discovery via DHCP using Python & Scapy

It’s got its quirks, but it’s pretty straight forward. Anyway, here’s one of the first things that I wrote in it. It sends a DHCP Discover [...]
