"Sometime last week my neighbor installed a new AP, so when AirDefense spotted it, it was news to me. That prompted me to take a little drive around the neighborhood, AirMagnet in hand. Would you believe that the highest concentration of WLANs is on my little street (6 homes out of 32 in the neighborhood) - and that's not counting my own APs? The encouraging news is that several are using WEP and/or MAC ACLs. In the past, I've seen mostly wide-open APs in residential neighborhoods. Perhaps there IS hope for security after all!"
Hopefully this indicates a general trend and home users (and corporations!) are getting the message about taking some basic security measures to protect their WLANs.
