DoS and availability 91 802.11 AND BLUETOOTH LOW TECH HACKS When someone hears the word wireless, two of the most common initial associations are first with traditional wireless LANS for home and enterprise networks, and sec- ond with wireless PANs (personal area networks) such as Bluetooth. This section is dedicated to the variety of low tech hacking techniques for these popular wireless structures. Since we're dealing with a slightly higher low tech topic than other low tech tricks in this book, I've decided to rate each hack on a scale of one to five, with five being the most technical of the low tech hacks. DoS AND AVAILABILITY Attacks on service quality and availability of wireless are probably some of the easiest and least technical and have the most impact. Denial of service (DoS) can result from some of the most cleverly architected technical attacks and, conversely, from some of the most Neanderthal-style physical tampering.
