Cyber Guerilla NetworkingBy Judith M. Myerson2005-04-13 
Who are the Cyber Guerillas?
They are cyber spies that were the stuff of fiction you read a decade ago, but now they can spring right at you out of Jack's proverbial box if you are not careful -- especially when you use your Palm or other wireless mobile device on the road. They are the cyber version of the urban guerillas you read about in the newspapers. Cyber guerillas intend to deny or destroy wireless services for legitimate users, and as such, are more of a danger, even, than hackers. Hackers, or intruders, know ahead of time where the signals emanating from wireless networks (WLAN and mobile) are (see C. C. Palmer's "Ethical Hacking"). They use the trade tools to listen to actual packet flow in a vulnerable network and then break into the intended system targets. Cyber guerillas, on the other hand, search for signals in the spectrums and then use hacking tools to decrypt the transmissions.
