Posted by: shank at January 31, 2005 03:46 PMWow, I didn't exect a "thank you" since I didn't think I was any help.
Glad that some of my pointless rambling was useful.
Posted by: GEBIV at January 31, 2005 04:49 PMYeah, I wasn't really any help either. Although I offered to come over to help if you needed anything.
Ted, you can't be too careful, even having wireless encryption turned on doesn't ensure your privacy. It wouldn't hurt to have a software firewall on any important PCs you have. At a minimum maybe the new W*ndows(WTF, Ted, your comment submission form rejected me because it said the word "w*ndows" was questionable content! hahaha) Firewall if you have XP or at least get Zone Alarm. There are all kinds of tools to sniff and crack wireless nowadays.

Cool Rich, thanks! I am a giant ear right now, absorbing all things wireless security related (I'd be a sponge, but some asshats would claim that made me gay as well).
