How secure is your wireless network?

My wireless network is as secure as current technology will allow. These are the security controls I have implemented:

(1) WPA2 with a 63 character, random passphrase
(2) MAC address filtering (I know, I know, but defense in depth is the idea here.)
(3) Non-reply to SSID requests (SSID is not the default)
(4) Directional antenna
(5) Broadcast strength is throttled slightly down
(6) I check my wireless router log file at least once a week.

 

i used to make sure its secure

now i've made it a public AP

 

btw, r. morgan or rm organ (awesome!)

 

Bless you my son.

 

?

 

i have mine open for all to use.

 

I guess in a big city with lots of people around a good secure wireless network would make sense. But in my town unless some wierdo comes wondering around my house with his laptop i think I'm pretty safe. I have it open to everything. My friend who isn't so computer literate, saw a program on TV showing the dangers of people steeling info from wireless networks. He freaked out and had me add security to his. What a load of crap in my tiny little town.

 

I leave mine open, only one persons ever caught on its even there.

 

my whole neighborhood already has wireless, and i live in a small town.

gotta make sure nobody steals all the porn on my computer

 

i have an internet protocol scrambler which ensures that my pc never connects using the same IP address and produces fake IPs to confuse hackers.

1 word - belkin

 

hahaha. that means nothing. a hacker only needs your external IP (internet protocol) address. all ur doing is changing your internal ip address. ur behind a NAT with a belkin anyway. and i have a belkin 125mbs router and it sucks. it gives off the worst signal strength i have seen. i can get a better signal from my niebors router thats like 6 houses down from me. all i have to do is scan ur router to find out what internal ip addresses it has.

 

looks good bro. another good tweak would be to close TCP ports 137-139 from incoming and outgoing access to your router. (unless you connect to ur computer from work or something)
