Wireless Security Attacks and Defenses

An anonymous reader writes "IT-Observer is running a comprehensive overview of wireless attacks and defenses. From the article: 'Wireless technology can provide numerous benefits in the business world. By deploying wireless networks, customers, partners, and employees are given the freedom of mobility from within and from outside of the organization. This can help businesses to increase productivity and effectiveness, lower costs and increase scalability, improve relationships with business partners, and attract new customers.'"

I suggest shortening the phrase

I suggest replacing the phrase "increase productivity and effectiveness, lower costs and increase scalability, improve relationships with business partners, and attract new customers." with "blah." This way we can write things like "X will help businesses to blah" knowing "blah" stands for "do anything that business wants done." As an added bonus, we won't have to change "blah" everytime stupid business buzzwords change. "Blah" always means whatever buzzwords are in vogue.

See, you aren't getting "it." You are not an it-getter. When you phrase it like "How exactly will your blah increase blah blah," then the answer becomes obvious: blah!

That's why Al G. Bell invented the landline. He foresaw that cellular would suffer limitations which only landline could prevent.

Funny the moment I read "which had come equipped with a factory-installed 802.11g antenna" I knew there wouldn't be anything of value.

My favorite option is to leave it on defaults, firewall everything but my SSH port and port 80, and route everything over port 80 to goatse.

If that doesn't keep people out, nothing would!
