quote: Theres enough papers out shownig how weak the WEP encryption is, once you have sniffed enough packets it doesnt take much processing power to crack it. People that actually sell security solutions would tell you to GTF with WEP no question about it, nothing beats a good solid IPSEC tunnel. I'm suprise this came from you Dan, you're normally one of the more clued up posters. So how secure would I want my wireless connection to be? secure enough to keep people out [Edited on 17-02-2005 by willay] | |

This place sells kitchens and the data is valuable enough to spend a month analysing it? | |

tbh, you would use a big array of servers going at it and marking combinations of a list so not to duplicate etc...tbh i bet you could get it down to a month or so.... | |

quote: Just checking, but how more secure would you want wireless encryption to be, with a WEP-key that has 13,471,428,653,161,560,586,981,973,426,176 possible combinations? For anyone who doesn't know, 128-bit WEP uses a 26-character key with 22 possibilities for each character. Assuming a single computer could "brute-force" attempt 100 keys per second, you're still looking at a potential maximum of 4,271,762,003,158,790,140,468 years to break through it. Feel like waiting that long? :) [Edited on 16-02-2005 by Dan B] | |

Turn DHCP off, WEP on, filter by MAC etc. | |

quote: The most obvious solution for security would be a IPSEC tunnel (yeah vpn), it would provide the most security along with filtering by MAC address. Alot of routers have a bridging function, but its normally just repeating the signal or using WEP isnt brilliant but will do the job I guess :look: Depends how paranoid you are. | |

use MAC address blocking if the network isnt too big, and if your routersupports it | |
