Some news items showed up in the past couple of days about vulnerabilities
in wireless device drivers. These vulnerabilities were apparently found by
the use of a 802.11 Fuzzing tool called lorcon
(http://www.802.11mercenary.net/lorcon/).

Apparently, David Maynor and Jon Ellch intend to demonstrate taking over a
laptop by the use of a wireless driver vulnerability next month at Black
Hat USA 2006.

I personally intend to go only to defcon, but this will be cool. :)

2nd Generation Fuzzing product.
