<p>In order to combat the problem of wireless communication services in remote and well insulated buildings, wireless communication providers have designed and issued a distributed wireless communication device (DWCD... yes I made that acronym up) pushing the cost and installation to the consumer while increasing consumer satisfaction with their wireless coverage. With any distributed end-user hardware device, these DWCDs are susceptible to various security issues and flaws at both a hardware and software level. We'll take a journey into how these DWCDs of various wireless communication services operate and the flaws discovered in their design and implementation as well as the legal issues of investigating these devices. Hardware hackers meet software hackers.</p>
