Just wanted to add to what Chris had mentioned about wireless security in his previous post.

       Wi-Fi security is not my cup of tea; however I had my wireless card lying around and decided to see what’s out there in the neighborhood. It was unbelievable to see how many people are oblivious to wireless security and how important it is to configure your router and change your default passwords. With all the recent identity theft cases popping up minute by minute, it would be very naive to run such an open and careless network. 

       To secure your router, at the very least try to assign static IP’s and limit the amount of IP’s that are assignable through the default dynamic settings.  Also try to incorporate an encryption protocol such as WEP or WPA, which Chris wrote a complete article on the pros and cons.  Hopefully with the tools and information gained from this site, it will in turn make you realize the potential threats and how vulnerable you are when surfing the world wide web.

       For any questions pertaining to this post or anything else, please don’t hesitate to ask.
