"It's more of a business crowd and they're more likely to have information that other people want," Rushing said.
Watching The Airwaves
Rushing and his company have received a lot of attention for monitoring the airwaves at highly-attended wireless industry trade shows. For example, he cited a number of egregious attacks at a show last February that was focused on wireless security.
The result at these shows is inevitably the same: Even though attendees are, largely, technology professionals, many still leave themselves open for attack. Because hacking technology is more of a challenge, these shows also attract their share of nefarious characters, Rushing said.
"You'll see a device come on the network and the question is whether they're spreading something," Rushing says. "Some will spread (malware) via e-mail and others by file-sharing. So, for instance, all of a sudden you'll see 200 messages going gout from the same device and you know they're spreading a virus."
