WEP

I have pointed you to resources on how to hack WEP enabled wireless networks in the past. Now it is time to do so again, with a strong reccomendation that you immediately stop using WEP, and move on to WPA-PSK.

So if you are still on WEP, please make an appointment with yourself to change it. And please do so now.

To many of us, hacking WEP encryption is yesterdays news. However, to those not so technical out there, I would like to show you how easy and quick it is to hack a WEP-enabled wireless access point.

Do not worry if you do not understand what is going on - just take notice of how quickly it is done, and how confident the hacker is. That is all you need to know and care about.

And of course - I no longer need to beat this old dog, now, do I? You do realize it is time to review and audit your wireless security, right?

Thought so.

--> EDIT: Gees, guys, how can you be so STUPID???? There is a link in the text, so there is NO need to ask me for the information. Besides, if you really are THAT stupid, you will never get it anyway. So go read some comics. <---

I picked up this from BoingBoing - Glenn Fleishman and Adam Engst made a book about how to set up and maintain a secure Wireless LAN in 2004. Today, they have decided to give the book away for free.

The download is at their website.

Please note that the book does not cover WPA and other new security measures. It is, however, a great general resource to plan and execute your WLAN.
