[Prism54-users] Broadcasting Off

[Dave Feller]

While that does seem to be a common concept in the enterprise - due
mostly to the casual user not being able to see the scan for the network
and "attempt association" - even a semi-sophisticated user with a
sniffer can get all the appropriate information without too much
trouble. More security - that is a stretch - less hassle on the network
is more likely.=20

The only things that actually provide security are encryption techniques
(WEP, AES etc...) -=20

On a side note - I choose (at home) to not use WEP but also not to
broadcast - if someone really wants to hack in just to get on the
internet - fine - but don't want the casual guy next door to be using my
network all the time unless he is invited... Enough "Security" for me
since everything else on the network is behind a firewall and/or Windows
password protected (if you trust their security)

Have a nice weekend.
