Re: home wireless router good practices for security

Agreed and well put, but how long will it take to gather enough weak packets
in home use for cracking strong WEP? Has anyone tried it? I gave it a shot
in my home, and after five days I still didn't have enough to crack 128 bit.
This was under average use for us. I submit that, by the time the guy has
enough to hack ya, you'd find out about him.

Of course, the one time I'd say otherwise is in like a townhome or apartment
community. Then I'd guess it'd be tough. I think I just disproved my point.
