Just examples of how calling the cops about a strange car packed outside has
nabbed people. Just something to consider in the big picture, nothing more.

I lost who started this thread.
Of course you can track a wireless attacker due the fact that he is
broadcasting a trackable signal and you can do it pretty accurate. But
he question behind is "And then?"
What will you do?
1.
If the attacker is in house you might have to close all the doors,
call the security stuff and confiscate all the laptops running
wireless. The attacker goes arested and the rest of the user will take
their case to the court, sueing you for damages.
2.
If the attacker is, let us say in a car in the street and you have
tracked and localized him what are you able to do?
You can't touch him, neither arrest him, you have no legal right to do
so; probably you will se the attackers golden finger he hits the road.
The energy you are wilt to afford to track this freak down you had
better spent before in securing your Network.
It's a fact, that you messed it up and not he.
I guess there is waiting some homework for you...

Jan
