Why you should protect your wireless network with WPA


A gang using easily available software break into a WEP protected wireless network and find out what a surfer has been up to as well as having access to his computer and his internet connection.

This is so lame...as sticky1254 put it...skiddies.Even with WPA encrypted passwords its still very crackable with a dictionary file and booting your labtop with the back track 3 linux distro.I've done it serveral times.WEP is weak is but WPA is not too far from it.Just need enough packets sniffed and one handshake from the network by knocking them off of it first.If you wanna know more about it send me a messege

So how do you prevent people from looking at what you are doing on the net?

to hekma.

No, as long as your on their network they can do as they wish, you can change your mac to stop it linking to you hardware if they ever decide to press charges after catching you but no, can't really stop them seeing you. To be honest most people wouldn't even notice your on there network unless your doing something really bandwidth heavy.

My god! That ARP poisoning bastard!! He should try packet sniffing on my network. Thats if he can sort my actual wireless connection from the 150 fake ones I use to mask mine. If you have 2 AP's that use the same wireless signal they can ONLY use WEP to communicate between each other. What he is doing is illegal in the UK, if I was that bloke id sue his ass! He probably thanked him!

You could connect via encrypted VPN - but again, it is not 100% secure.

This is the most ridiculous video ever... that white hat should be embarrassed to have even cooperated with that project... scaring the bejessus out of people, and then giving them false hope that they can protect themselves... thats more shameful than the black hat would be.

hah, yeah right, nothing is secure ever... if someone wants on you computer they will get it.
