Paint Provides Network Protection
thefickler writes "Forget WEP and WPA; I'm switching over to the EM-SEC Coating System, a recently announced paint developed by EM-SEC Technologies that acts as an electromagnetic fortress, allowing a wireless network to be contained within painted walls without fear of someone tapping in or hacking wireless networks. The EM-SEC Coating System is clearly the most secure option aside from stringing out the CAT5, and can be safely used to protect wireless networks in business and government facilities."
Someone is going to sue, either because they painted all the inside walls like a dumbass and wireless won't go room to room, or else they'll get cancer, and swear the paint magnified and reflected all the microwaves into their body.
Ahhh, but that brings up an interesting question--which type is less secure? : p
This guy's the limit!
it could also protect against cell phone brain cancer
What are you talking about? Windows COMES with Paint, with Linux, you're stuck with this thing called GIMP.
Wait, what are we talking about? I'm confused now.
(Seriously, when I first read the article headline, I thought they did mean MS Paint and couldn't figure out why that would help with network protection. Then I read the summary and figured it out.)
You are in a maze of twisty little relative jumps, all alike.
OK, I just ran pbrush.exe but I don't see any commands for establishing my network protection. It only gives me some tools for what seems to be a diagraming program.
Maybe I should read the article or the summary for more detail.
Nah...
Small potatoes make the steak look bigger.
Already protects my network.
You will have to de-fenestrate your home.
Most Slashdotters already live in homes without Windows.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I agree with this article completely. I have been using MS products for years and I found that MS Paint is the one program that has never had any exploits. If I could somehow run everything through Paint, I'm sure my network would be much more secure.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
Paint chips? You mean wall candy!
Quick! Close the door now...
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
Huh. I guess they're good for something after all.
Saw article headline.
Assumed MS Paint.
Was already forming snarky comment about dipping a RJ-45 connector in primer to give network security.
Now I feel more and less stupid at the same time.
I see your informative link, and raise you a pithy comment.
The physical type should be more secure, as long as they have no outlook.
What happens when we assume? .....
Unless you are privy to some magical laws of electromagnetics that I am not...
Ahhh, nicely played... : )
This guy's the limit!
Almost factually? Is that like being sort of pregnant?
