WLAN Rallye

The Chaos Computer Club (CCC) offers in our local state’s capital city Kiel a new type of Hacking – a rallye for WLAN hotspots. For next weekend’s Saturday, several computers will be dispatched in the city and the teams will have to locate and access them to find out the location of the next hotspot. To accomplish their task, each team will be given a GPS-Receiver and a Laptop to locate and hack the WLAN hotspots created by each hidden computer. I like this idea, and so far about 6 teams of a maximum of 12 groups have already registered for this rallye.
