Re: Wireless is not a defense for clueless
For a number of years I have been installing computers and computer networks for people who still cannot figure out how to program their VCR. Recently, some of my 'customers' have been requesting wireless networks installed. I will only install them if they agree to sit down with me and hear my lesson about basic wireless network security. I will not install a network without, at a minimum WEP encryption, and MAC filtering. The customer realizes if they do not pay attention to my little lesson about how to access the router and enter MAC addresses and WEP keys they are not going to be able to add any more computers or get back on if the network goes down. I don't install a lot of wireless because most customers don't have the time to hear me out, or they are not savvy enough to comprehend what I'm saying. Some are so ignorant they tell me to F**** off they will find someone else to do it. The majority of computer users don't care. Their computers are full of virus and malware. What's one other thing like giving a hacker a free ride on your IP. |
