RE: How do I turn the radio in a pi 3b off
If you don't have an access point configured on your WiFi radio, your radio
will listen only, and never reply, hence there is no vulnerability.

Subject: How do I turn the radio in a pi 3b off
Greetings all;
How do I turn the radio off, completely off, in a pi 3b? I have no use for
it to be on, inviting a "drive by" attack or wasting cpu cycles.
An iw wlan0 scan finds as many as a dozen signals, one quite a bit stronger
than the others call's its SSID: "Fbi surveillance van." I even catch the
next door neighbors hp printer.
Thank you all.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
