[Infowarrior] - DHS Cyber Neighborhood Watch?

[Richard Forno]

(c/o M.P.)

The Neighborhood Network Watch is a domestic community based group  
that analyzes and collects network traffic from open public networks,  
for national security purposes. The group was founded in 2006 with the  
help of its parent organization the U.S. Department of Homeland  
Security. The first chapter of the Neighborhood Network Watch was  
founded in 2007 and has been operating since then.

"Participants in HNAP would collect sample network traffic from their  
own home networks as well as samples from networks within the  
vicinity. The Neighborhood Network Watch will be making a set of  
freely available instructions on how to capture network traffic, using  
the open source packet sniffer TCPDUMP, and **how to log onto nearby  
wireless networks that maybe being operated by neighbors**."
