Hello, thanks for your interest. Mentors aren't assigned until after
we've received and evaluated all the proposals. But you can ask
questions and get feedback on this mailing list as much as you want.

I think you'll need to say in more detail what you plan to do. What kind
of packets will you use? How is this different from a wireless stumbler
or Nmap's ARP scan (-sR)? What are the advantages and limitations of
your technique?
