Wireless Networks

Wireless networking is wonderful! Wonderful that is as long as it's secure! And most wireless setups aren't. Systems that aren't secured are a hacking incident just waiting to happen. Having a hacker break into your computer systems can result in a range of consequences from anger and embarrassment, loss of company image and goodwill to financial penalties for those subject to legislation such as HIPPA.

It Takes More Than WEP

Most small business wireless devices now come equipped with 128-bit WEP encryption as standard which provides at best a modest level of protection.

The fact is a hacker of very average skills using software tools freely available on the Internet can easily break into a WEP secured wireless network.

The only limits to the damage are the attacker's skill level and maliciousness of character.

Given that the standard wireless encryption system, WEP, is rather easily compromised it takes more than the basics to create a secure system. The benefits of wireless networking are well worth the modest investment in knowing your systems are secured.

Your Wireless Network Isn't Secure

Not convinced as to the seriousness regarding the insecurity of wireless networks? Let's see what we can find about hacking wep on the web.

1. Google search for "hacking wep"
2. Add "Wi-Foo : The Secrets of Wireless Hacking" to your library. For less than $30.00 USD Amazon will have it at your doorstep in days! Great book by the way if you're an aspiring wireless hacker.
   
   There's even a Wi-Foo Website.

My point is that the weaknesses of WEP are well known and how to hack them is easily attained knowledge.
