In a post-apocalyptic world, communication is going to be crucial for the survival and zombies alike. Long range, paid, and mobile communication is going to be a must in order to properly organize, defend and ultimately survive. So naturally wireless communication is going to be a critical infrastructure but how will it hold up? Can it be leveraged to give us the upper hand? The idea behind this talk is to demonstrate how existing 802.11 technologies can be used to not only provide the critical communication medium needed to organize but that we can also use the same technology to disrupt the zombie efforts to do the same. In this talk we will look at some of the weaknesses in wireless technologies that can be used to compromise the zombies communications, find their location to prepare defenses, disrupt the flow of information and if neeed be, take down the entire system. The truth is that we already have a world full of zombies in the form of consumers and the threat to their beloved communication mediums actually put them at risk. At the end of the talk I will show hos this stuff is not only possible but how it is happening in the world today.
