WEP, WPA, AES, VPN, MAC authentication, hide broadcast SID

Well said. An hour and a half of wardriving in Nashville yielded more than 600 APs. Only about 25% ran WEP, and less than 10% hide SSID.

We weren't even using a fancy setup with a high gain antenna. We had a USB 802.11b adapter on an extension cable slung around the rear view mirror (inside the car).
