    How to keep your neighbors off your wireless network

    I realized keeping people off your network from trying to hack the password is all in the name.


    my network is now called "Trogan Virus Development Center"

          I used to love using names like "GOTHEFUCKAWAY", but I just turned off SSID broadcast, tied it to my MAC address, and change my WPA key every few weeks.

          If someone still manages to get through that, I'll hire them for some grunt work.

          Edit: setting a really strong key on a 'bogus' wireless with a standard name of "linksys", or "default" was fun to do in the old office.

                    Yeah... that works for me, too...

                    Though I don't really bother changing the WPA key but maybe once a year. If someone's using my network, I'll figure it out sooner or later, and take care of it then... but until then, there's only one system on my network with admin access, so I don't see the point in wasting the energy.

                                    lol, that is the most awesome of ideas. I have my broadcast turned off and never had any attempts to connect to it, however this sounds like fun. I'm gonna turn the broadcast on and name it some scary shit... that will at least put a smile on my fach each day :D

                                      Why don't you just stop broadcasting that you have a wireless network. Just turn that feature off and no one will know you have one unless you tell them.

                                        Just use MAC address authentication. Screw the other stuff. Kind of hard to fake a mac address.

                                          So, so, so wrong. It's trivial to sniff networks w/ no broadcasted SSID. Hell, the default intel drivers do this as standard [ie, most laptops]

                                            Wrong again. It's a 2 second job to fake a mac address.

                                            If you want to keep people out, you've got a few options

                                            #1 - Let them in, but have your network VPN'd, so they can get on, but can't do shit.

                                            #2 - WPA password of 63 characters. WPA keys have to be bruteforced still, with a 63 char password it becomes completely illogical to try to brute.

                                            #3 - Let them in, but have an invisible proxy that changes all photos on all webpages to goatse [don't try this in the US, i'm sure you'd end up in jail for it]....

                                              There are about 45 different wireless connections in my apartment complex ( I live right next to the Georgia Tech Campus). Mine is secured, but one that isn't is called Hrdcore Gay Porn Svr. The guy that has it tells me he has had no trouble with people using his wireless! I laugh every time I see that one.

                                                        I used to name my SSID to "denied".

                                                        I've even had friends come over, fire up their laptop and go "I tried to connect but it says I'm denied" even though they have a perfect signal

                                                                          Sure, but what happens when someone complains that their kid saw goatse cos of you.. like the people who got busted for having sex in their own house w/ the windows closed...
