Anti-Wi-Fi Wallpaper

Posted by michael on from the better-than-tin-foil dept.

Alephcat writes "New Scientist is reporting on a wallpaper that can prevent hackers accessing secure networks via Wi-Fi - without blocking mobile phone signals - that's been developed by a British defence contractor. It is based on covert 'stealth' technology that was originally designed to hide military radars."

    How to stop people from connecting an AP. First off dissalow any remote switches particualy dumb ones. Only allow one MAC address per port. Turn the port off if you see spanning tree. Run 802.1x auth and vlan selection with a 2 factor login (secure ID etc). Only allow one login per person. Not that hard to do with modern Cisco gear, expensive but not hard.
