If you're paranoid about Google Glass, here's a network tool that can shut it down | VentureBeat | Gadgets | by Richard Byrne Reilly
Summary
For the team at Fluke Networks, people wearing Glass in your office isn’t necessarily a good thing. For Fluke Networks product director Milind Bhise and security specialist Greg Rayburn, Glass has the potential to be a powerful industrial espionage tool, exploiting wireless networks, siphoning data, and obtaining critical data like passwords and credit information. Google Glass is already in advanced beta testing with the intelligence division of the New York City police department for surveillance and investigative purposes. Using sensors mounted inside a building, the software constantly scans the network, in this case the routine 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands, monitoring it. The AirMagnet Enterprise also automatically gives the system administrator the Glass wearer’s media access control network, or MAC number, further compromising the suspect’s identity.
