Eg setup some kind of tunnel to their servers over an 'insecure' connection from which you can then browse the world.Like this maybe? http://www.witopia.net/personalmore.html-----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of steve menard Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 10:45 AM To: Security Basics Cc: Yousef Syed Subject: Re: Wireless Security Do you have a machine outside you could setup a ssh tunnel to? NO? then anyone watching the wireless stream WILL see ALL Traffic ;-( I went to a mall with a restaurant serving non encrypted wireless using a ethernet snoop I saw every non encrypted traffic everyone was using in almost clear text ; well clear protocol ; totally easy to trace and decode ;-P except for their encrypted sessions ; I saw the traffic but they were encrypted I would have needed to do extra to get them ;-) Steve Yousef Syed wrote:I need some advice. I'm currently staying in an apartment complex that provides free wireless Internet access. The access has zero crypto - not even WEP. What can I do on my own Laptops (Mac OS X and Windows XP Pro) to make my browsing/internet usage more secure? I also want to ensure that no one else on the network is entering my systems. The Windows Laptop already has Kaspersky Internet Security and various spyware/adware checkers etc Thanks, ys
