One of the benefits of attending conferences like Blackhat Briefings and
Defcon is the networking that occurs in the background. In this case,
wireless networking. I met John Hering when he and his posse were in the
press room giving a demo of their Bluetooth Sniper Gun ahead of their
presentation. That's when I heard John mention the "UnwireIraq" project,
which aims to provide American servicemen and women in Afghanistan and
Iraq with high-speed Internet access, so that they can stay more closely
in touch with friends and families back home. He gave me a brief
overview of the project that day. I told him I would like to follow-up
with him after the conference. Now that I've done so, here's what I've
learned.
