They discovered a live network jack, presumably for the convenience of company personnel who wanted to be able to access the corporate network during meetings. Plugging in an Ethernet cable from his laptop to the wall jack, Dustin quickly found what he expected: He had access into the network from behind the company’s firewall, which was an open invitation into the company’s system.

Like a scene that should have the Mission Impossible music playing in the background, Dustin fastened to the wall a small wireless access device (like the one in Figure 6-1) and plugged it into the jack. The device would permit Dustin’s people to penetrate the Biotech network from computers in a car or van parked nearby but outside the company’s building. Transmissions from such a “wireless access point” (WAP) device may reach distances up to 300 feet. Using a high-gain directional antenna allows connecting to the hidden WAP from an even greater distance.
