Pentagon to issue wireless disconnect order

Dan Verton | Computerworld | August 1, 2002

"In May, a wireless security expert managed to detect the nonsecure wireless LAN at the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) in Arlington, Va. (see story). While parked across the street from DISA's headquarters, the security expert was able to view the Service Set Identifier numbers of access points and numerous IP addresses. Using a standard 802.11b wireless LAN card attached to his laptop computer and access-point detection software from San Diego-based NetStumbler.com, he was able to scan the network in less than half an hour."

This website is a tribute to Why War?, one of the nation's first and most innovative post-9/11 student antiwar organizations. Born on October 22, 2001 at Swarthmore College, we were a handful of freshmen and sophmores who vocally opposed the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. And now, seven years later, we are retiring this website as we focus our efforts on new directions. We hope that it continues to serve future activists and we remain confident that humanity is on the verge birthing a better world.
