Hacker Proof-of-Concept: T-Mobile MDA as "Evil Twin" Network

WOW.. .I wasn't sure that a TI OMAP 850 processor was powerfull enough to run this scam.. Makes you wonder...

A great article was posted on Friday over at c|net, describing how “Carl Banzhof, VP and chief technology evangelist for McAfee, outlined a scenario in which mobile phones—not laptops—could be used to sniff wireless packets”. The upshot is that he took a T-Mobile MDA and made it look like a WiFi access point - i.e. showing how a malicious smartphone user could “trick” you into logging onto the internet via the MDA, thereby exposing all of your communications to packet sniffing.
