Think your Wireless Network is Secure? Think Again.

The greatest problem with 802.11 security is that it is usually not
implemented properly.

Check it out! Keep your Private network Private.

 

very true. but that goes without saying for almost anything. if it ain't
implemented properly, it's not very secure is it.

 

You seem to have an acute grasp of the patently obvious.

If your network security suggestions are as uselss as your information
privacy ramblings, I'll look else where.

 

Spamming newsgroups will not generate sales leads.

Where is Canada anyway? its not part of the EU

 

No, it is most certainly not.

Replace "certified" with "alleged to be"

Actually anything using 801.11x or WEP is not secure. WEP can be broken in
minutes, and 11.x is vulnerable to replay attacks.

Only secure solution is one that forces a VPN between the client and the AP
or if you want setup the VPN between the client and a VPN device on the
network.

Watchgard and Sonicwall both offer these devices. Others may have now as
well. I like the Sonicwall better because of some of the extra features
they have.

Perhaps WEP is capable of being broken in minutes;
Individuals should educated themselves when buying a wireless router,
and fully learn all the capabilities of such a device before using it.

Now with 256bit encryption; HEX
MAC Filters properly enabled;
LAN Ping Discarded, and ALL un-used modes disabled (Gaming, VPN)

Chances of someone braking in your wireless network is greatly
reduced. I am still waiting to see the day when someone cracks mine.

 

If your cracker is good you won't

What are Software Patents for?
To protect the small enterprise from bigger companies.

What do Software Patents do?
In its current form, they protect only companies with
big legal departments as they:
a.) Patent everything no matter how general
b.) Sue everybody. Even if the patent can be argued
invalid, small companies can ill-afford the
typical $500k cost of a law-suit (not to mention
years of harassment).

Don't let them take away your right to program
whatever you like. Make a stand on Software Patents
before its too late.
