WarKitteh: A Cat Collar for Hacking Neighborhood Wi-Fi

This year’s DEF CON hacker convention in Las Vegas will feature a special kitty-themed device: The WarKitteh, a special cat collar that can sniff out your unsecured Wi-Fi. Put the collar on your mobile feline of choice, and it will help you locate unsecured wireless connections in your neighborhood. Free Wi-Fi anybody?

The WarKitteh is the brainchild of security researcher Gene Bransfield, who knows that cats are the most interesting things on the Internet. During his Schoocon Firesides presentation, Bransfield admitted to using cat photos to keep people awake.
