08/17/2004 01:25 PMMy latest TheFeature article is about ways to make tiny batteries last
for years.
At Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., researchers are
trying to make a nuclear-powered battery with a very long life span.
They've built prototype batteries that use a speck of nickel-63 (a
radioactive isotope) to vibrate a tiny cantilever. The cantilever
could be made from a piece of piezoelectric material, which could
supply power to the sensor. Nickel-63 has a half-life of around 100
years, so it could provide power for several decades. Nukes make
people nervous, but there's not enough radioactive material in the
prototype to cause a mini-meltdown -- it's comparable to the amount
found in a smoke detector. Still, researchers acknowledge that they
have a perception problem to overcome.

Three Municipal Wireless Networks
Foreshadow Future
06/24/2004 06:11 PMBob Brewin dives into three cities that are deploying large-area Wi-Fi
networks for public-safety-only and mixed-use purposes: Spokane has
unwired 100 city blocks, Rio Rancho claims over a 100 square miles,
and Cook County ultimately expects nearly 1,000 square miles of
coverage for public safety in Chicago and surrounding areas. The
movement shows that municipal Wi-Fi has moved from a curiosity
explored without many concrete goals--let's bring more people into
downtown and see what happens, for instance--into a critical part in
managing emergency response for fire, police, and medical personnel.
When major incidents hit, the critical question is how well these
networks perform, especially compared to cellular, landline, and
proprietary (and expensive) public-safety band equipment. Spokane and
Rio Rancho will offer public access to the network, while Cook County
is focusing purely on public safety. Cook County's routers can switch
to cellular or satellite networks as needed....

Courts Freak Out That People Might
Actually Use Their Wireless Networks
12/22/2004 01:16 AMThis story seems bizarre, but apparently a bunch of courts are somehow
u
nprepared for the fact that people might actually use the WiFi
networks they installed. Most of the article focuses on a
reporter sending out realtime updates for a court case via the WiFi,
leading to this absolutely classic quote from someone from the court:
"In my life, I would have never thought you could do any of that.
When we put the wireless network in about two years ago, we didn't
think anybody would even use it." Yeah, they just installed it
for the hell of it. How dare someone actually use it! The rest of
the article goes on to discuss just how "dangerous" this situation is,
and how courts don't understand what a risk these networks are. It
also refers to "WiFi" as the "informal" name for wireless networks --
when it's actually very much the formal, certified name for them.

Adventures in wireless security: Why

insecure
Adventures in wireless security: Why
home and corporate wireless LANs are
insecure
06/03/2004 03:44 AMThe meat of the article is:
“…Wireless security recommendations: Change your system
defaults – everyone knows them.
Change the Admin and SNMP passwords. Change the IP network range. Also
change the Server Set ID (SSID). The SSID is a unique identifier for
your wireless hub/router. The default SSID is set in the factory is
definitely not unique.
Don’t broadcast the SSID. While you can change the default ID,
that does little if your hub or router broadcasts that SSID.
Enable Wireless Encryption. WEP or something similar can be
compromised, but it makes it significantly more difficult to
compromise your information. The larger the key length, the better.
Enable Shared Key Authentication. The default Open System setting lets
anyone connect to your network with very minimal effort.
Change your SNMP Community String. Create a Community String like it
is a strong password.
Enable MAC Address Codes. Again, this makes it more difficult for a
hacker to compromise your home network.
Set Wireless LAN cards to Infrastructure Mode. Most cards have the
default Ad Hoc mode, which is less secure.
Don’t rely only on the broadband firewall. A firewall at your
home’s Internet entry point is critical. However, you should
still have personal firewalls on all computers on your network, in
case something makes it through your home’s firewall or a hacker
does make it onto your network.”
