最近,英国利物浦大学的研究人员宣布他们发现并演示了无线网络中感染的首个病毒,这一消息引起了轰动。在实验室环境中,该病毒(被称为Chameleon)在各个无线接入点之间移动,虽然它并没有影响整个网络,但它能够汇报连接用户的登录凭证。但事实上,该病毒不能感染受加密或受密码保护的网络接入点。所以,在这些研究人员演示中的网络,只是那些易受攻击的网络。卡内基-梅隆大学软件工程研究所的CERT部首席工程师Martin Lindner指出:“首先,他们所做的事情是理论上的,这 Recently, researchers at the University of Liverpool in the UK announced that they had discovered and demonstrated the first virus in the wireless network, causing a sensation. In a lab environment, the virus (known as Chameleon) moves between wireless access points, and although it does not affect the entire network, it reports on the credentials of connecting users. But in fact, the virus can not infect encrypted or password-protected network access points. So, the networks in these researchers’ presentations are just those that are vulnerable. Martin Lindner, chief engineer of CERT at the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, states: ”First, what they did was theoretical, which
