I think you might be missing something... The "danger" is that in addition to someone gaining access to your machine, someone getting onto your network at home is very likely using it to get out to

It should be noted that the reason WEP has been broken is not a brute force attack, it is a "'sploit". Brute forcing a 128 bit key is still extremely extremely unlikely, especially if the informatio

Yes. For me the big difference is that at the wireless cafe I am just on the WILD Internet, and I know it. At home I may be doing file sharing and such with other computers on my network. If you only

WPA using PSK (pre-shared key) is vulnerable to brute force attacks on the passphrase. This can be done off-line; the attacker can use saved packjets. The solution is to use good passphrases, and cha

That's true, I guess you'll never have 2^128 possible keys if they all started out from "common phrases", which there aren't 2^128 of... I guess that can be solved by choosing a password with "a lot

Many network configuration tools can be set to pick a random key. Since you've only got to enter it once per machine, it's not that hard to use that. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com ____________

That's a bit harsh, IMO ... but only because anyone with a lockpick can go through the typical front door lock about as quickly as I can get my keys out and find the right one. Randall _____________

There are three different "standard" encryption techniques in today's consumer-grade wi-fi access points: WEP, WPA and WPA2. WEP, as it has been discussed here, is pretty transparent. It is useful si
