Originally posted by Donzi38ZX Even with WEPs flaws it takes 5 to 15 million packets to break the key which is about 2 weeks of traffic on a lan with 4 active users. that is some dedication to snoop a home network. Any info passed to a company should be through a virtual private network which is much more difficult to break and in fact is relied upon by millions of companies. If they want the info there are far easier ways to retrieve it. The dictionary attack will generate 45,000 guesses/second against 128-bit generated keys on a PIII 500. |

For any home network I would recommend these 3 things. Non Broadcast SSID WEP Mac Filtering These 3 things will keep most intruders out. I would also recommend that any computers on the network run a firewall. |
