best practice is as follows...

Disable Broadcast SSID (only protects against netstumbler n00bs)
Mac filter (again only protects against aoler n00bs)
WPA (cause it takes at least 10 steps, which is about 6 more then wep to crack)
VPN over the wireless connection (again, if the attacker has a clue this is just one MITM away from ownage)


blah im paranoid.. have fun with your wireless.. i run mine wide open..

screw it all my crap that i dont want to be seen or that is sensitive isnt on a network

setting mac filtering for home box will make it hard enough for average hax0r.
and yes, encryption on peer sides is best approach for sensitive data.

Nice double post there, super hacker

Honestly, unless you're a large corp. or have a ton of stuff to hide, WEP or WPA should be fine for the average user as most 1337 hackers aren't going to target your wireless connection for free high speed.

um, there's the obvious step of creating a closed network, that won't show up when you do a search.

I think that's what they're saying when the mention disabling the SSID broadcast.

On another note, that guy was only able to crack WEP so fast mostly cause the first address was 1A, if it were FF then it would take waaaaay longer.

ah, okay, I use an AirPort Extreme, so it's a bit more user friendly.

would just take a bit longer.. there are other attacks you can mount against WPA as well as dictionary.. that was the only for idiots demo video i could find

who knows maybe at BH, DC, or Toor there might happen to be a new wireless sploit dropped.. who knows ; )

So andre, is your employer paying for you to go to DC and school the kiddies? ;P

I am going to try and make it to toorcon, at least you can still learn some stuff there. ;x DC is just a bunch of hackers trying to get lucky with scene wh0res and *****. Oh yeah, and getting drunk.

your kidding right?

its pretty much the average to crack a wep key in anywhere from 2min to 20 min using the demonstrated method..

its the arp broadcast that gets replayed over and over and over generating nuff traffic to mount a statistical attack on the weak IV's generated by wep that allow this attack to happen.

doesnt matter what the key starts with, ends with, or has in the middle.. if it was used in wep it is vulnerable..
