Most hardware you buy finally is pre-set to encrypted, but the problem is that the hardware always has to have the same key set to it. Companies should finally force a change of the key when the software is installed, sadly noone does that.

90% of the time the password is "default" or the like. Its sad.

You can not expect normal people buying WiFi hardware to understand that they have to do something. They expect it to be plug-and-play, and it just isn't.

On top of all this shit, the software side is so bad, that I for example run unencrypted simply because I can not get WinXP to connect to my encrypted network, it just won't do it.


Not many people know that before cell phones went digital for several years they were all analog. With any 800 mhz radio scanner you could scan all the cell phone frequencies and listen in to everyone's phone calls.
