RE: RE: Wi-Fi Security



But if your "wolves" are anything like mine, they'd give the
hackboi a damn good licking rather than a good kicking!

Although I don't doubt that WEP encryption can be broken pretty easily if
you really want to I think perhaps we may get a little paranoid about such
things ... Pretty much every other house has a wireless AP in it now and
there's nothing particularly interesting on my network to encourage anyone
to try to hack ours over anyone elses.

Anyway - given that I don't subscribe to the quest for ever greater wifi
coverage and use 802.11a as much as possible which has quite a short range
then anyone trying to hack our network would either be sat directly outside
the front of the house (a bit obvious) or in the back garden (and with four
"wolves" there I don't think your average hackboi is that brave).
