Introduction to WiMAX Hacking

WiMAX is a new high speed, 802.16e, wide area broadband service that promises to replace 3G high speed networks. It is only being offered in a few cities across the country, but by 2012 it is estimated that it will be nation wide. Over the last decade, hackers have explored and demonstrated weaknesses in the security of WiFi, pushing the industry to come up with better security practices. In this talk, we intend to make it clear what WiMAX is, what is being done to protect the existing deployed WiMAX networks, and different ways to get anonymous Internet anywhere WiMAX is being served.
