WirelssDefender.net shutting down, use of USBWiSec ILLEGAL! - Sunday, April 01, 2007
WirelessDefender.net will be shutting down by the end of the day by order of the US Federal court. Apparently, the manufacturers of the Wireless Defender hardware have convinced the courts that use of third party software with their products is ILLEGAL and any discussion regarding third party software must be stopped.
We disagree with the courts ruling, but do not have the financial backing to fight a corporation on this and must take down the site and forfeit all user records and site logs. We suggest all WirelessDefender.net members discontinue use of USBWiSec in order to avoid criminal prosecution.
Thanks to all the members who took our little joke in stride. April Fools!

Growing Pains & New Downloads - Wednesday, June 14, 2006
We had a
couple service interruptions early this morning while we were working
some of the bugs out of the site. Everything seems to be stable now,
but if the massive usage growth continues it may quickly become
necessary to move to a more robust server. We will do our best to give
advanced notice and perform the migration during off hours to avoid
significant service interruptions.
Also, I've posted a number of
plugins in the downloads section. Some of them were written by myself,
while others I just packaged into a dll for easy installation.

Launch Day Success! - Wednesday, June 13, 2006
We launched
this site this afternoon, and 12 hours later we have 30 registered
users. It's good to see that people were looking for a place to ask
questions and come together to share information on these devices and
how to get the most out of them.
