WLAN Security

A lot of people still seem to be rather ignorant about the vulnerability of their wireless access points. One of our neighbors believed that using a hidden SSID would be a sufficient security level. Of course it is helpful, but if you change neither the standard SSID nor the standard password for router administration ...

Well, today is his birthday, so in the last row you can see my congratulations:



This was just for the lulz and I promise that I also will give him the new password when he comes over for a party tonight. So, no harm done.

Otherwise, security is still an underestimated issue. Imagine, I had used his access point for unlawful activities. He would have a hard time explaining this to the police.
