It's a good article, but it'd be more compelling if you could make it more real. If you could give some examples of what sorts of attacks, exploits, and thefts are accomplished with these tools, I think it would help readers better understand their stake in the matter.

Thanks.

my guess is like WEP cracking, the encryption itself is not the problem, but rather how it is handled that gives away the key needed to snoop.

Perhaps the exploits they're using are unpublished?

that's possible as well. could still be unpublished vulnerability being exploited.

i emailed a guy i know to see what he has to say if he can. he works pretty high up in the dod cyber defense world. he'll point me in the right direction if he can.
