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...



<==== (* time to change the 128 bit encryption code & shut down wireless router when not in use *)

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
