I got my router locked down fo sho.
How?
Anyone with a packet sniffer can get your WEP password by collecting enough packets (as little as 5 minutes if you are sending a lot of packets). MAC address locking is the same thing, every packet moving on your network has a MAC address listed along with it. Its not hard to spoof a MAC address. No broadcast SSID? Oh yeah, network stumblers will find them too...
For the record, any time I hop onto somebodys nework with out their permission, I try to find out who it is (pretty easy in my neighborhood) and let them know they should secure their network. Basically, I jump on to see if I can, then jump off.
