Even WPA can be defeated if it was set up with a weak password or passphrase. So, when you set up your wireless network, use a strong passphrase.

]]> Comment on Your Wireless Enabled Laptop May Be Extremely Vulnerable by Editor http://internet-insecurity.com/blog/2006/03/21/your-wireless-enabled-laptop-may-be-extremely-vulnerable/comment-page-1/#comment-41 Editor Wed, 22 Mar 2006 22:25:15 +0000 http://internet-insecurity.com/blog/2006/03/21/your-wireless-enabled-laptop-may-be-extremely-vulnerable/#comment-41 Good question. I don't know if that includes Macs. The linked article specifically points out vulnerabilities in how Windows, by default, automatically connects to ad hoc (peer to peer) wireless networks that use common SSIDs (network names). I don't know if Macs do this automatically, or can be set to do this automatically. But Windows users should follow the advice to disable ad hoc networking. Good question.

The new version has omitted most of the advanced tools that were found in the previous version. Too bad. Some of them were pretty good.
