A new public website designed to be a one-stop shop for network administrators and IT managers that lists potential threats to wireless networks and lists ways to protect against them has been announced by Network Chemistry Inc. Wireless Vulnerabilities & Exploits (WVe) features descriptions of listed threats and, with the input of the site's editorial board, steps on how to keep them away from networks. According to the site's administrators, anyone can submit a threat listing to the editorial board, who then review it and post it live to the site if they deem it credible.

The threats are classified in two ways:

• Vulnerabilities—defined as a piece of a system or protocol that can be exploited to use the system in manner other than it was designed for. Examples include an unauthorized entity to pose as an authorized entity or information from authorized entities to be intercepted by or disclosed to an unauthorized entity

• Exploits—a technique, such as a program, piece of code, set of steps, or hardware device, which takes advantage of one or more vulnerabilities.
