I am pretty much a newbie into this wireless arena and therefore ignorant of the best security practices. Can you suggest me methods to setup a "secure" wireless environment? Consider me paranoid :-)
If you're serious about security: - Get a Linux or BSD system and a compatible wireless card - Use it as your AP - Set up the access point without any WEP or WPA encryption - Run DHCPD on the AP - Let anyone get an IP address - Filter all incoming traffic except for DHCP, ARP, etc. the essential - Choose a VPN solution, and allow authentication attempts - Allow clients access to the network and the Internet only through the VPN Now you got yourself a proven secure wireless network. -- Kind regards, Rob klein Gunnewiek --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINEThe NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
