WiFi proof wallpaper
"British boffins have developed wallpaper that blocks Wi-Fi traffic but still allows other wireless transmissions to pass through in a bid to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive data via the WLAN. Developed by UK defence company BAE Systems, the wallpaper uses Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) sheeting, a material more commonly found slapped on military aircraft, naval vessels and radar antennae, New Scientist reports. In this case, the FSS material is manufactured to absorb signals in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands used by 802.11a, b and g equipment. Other frequencies, such as the 1800MHz band used by GSM networks, are not blocked."

- Overview: Quarterscope is building a commercial access point database in order to deploy location based applications. We are willing to pay wardrivers for past and future GPS located scans. We will pay between $0.01-$0.05 per access point depending on the priority of the area (NYC versus Topeka) and the quality of the data (number of GPS locations per access point).
- http://www.dotnet247.com/canary/default.html - These are small devices designed to help you find out if you're sitting in the middle of a wireless network. This is useful if you're in Starbucks (T-Mobile), McDonalds , a Hilton (both BT OpenZone?Create), or somewhere with a wireless hotspot from an independent provider and you want to find out if it's worth dragging your notebook out of your bag, or if you're auditing security for your own office (or home) wireless network.
