AirMagnet Wi-Fi security tool takes aim at drones
In its quest to help enterprises seek out and neutralize all threats to their Wi-Fi networks, AirMagnet is now looking to the skies.In a free software update to its AirMagnet Enterprise product last week, the Wi-Fi security division of Fluke Networks added code specifically crafted to detect the Parrot AR Drone, a popular unmanned aerial vehicle that costs a few hundred dollars and can be controlled using a smartphone or tablet.Drones themselves don’t pose any special threat to Wi-Fi networks, and AirMagnet isn’t issuing air pistols to its customers to shoot them down. The reason the craft are dangerous is that they can be modified to act as rogue APs (access points) and sent into range of a victim’s wireless network, potentially breaking into a network to steal data, according to Greg Rayburn, a security analyst at AirMagnet.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

India moves into the post-iPhone era
Xiaomi’s flagship Mi3 smartphone went on sale today on Flipkart, India’s online megastore and largest ecommerce company, beating Google’s sub-$100 Android One to the punch as its Indian supply chain partners get ready to scale. The push into India is part of Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun’s drive to deliver a fivefold boost in sales, up to 100 million units next year.Flipkart announced in a press release that Xiaomi’s “Mi3 stock was sold out in 38 minutes and 50 seconds.”A glance at the smartphone pricing chart of India tells the story.
