5_06- Wireless Security * Wireless devices communicate * Directly- Ad Hoc mode * Remember this term * Through an access point (AP) * Wireless Access Point (WAP) * Most networks use a wireless AP * Creates a hot spot * Security must be configured * WAP * Is sometimes used to refer to both a “Wireless Application Protocol” or a “Wireless Access Point” * SSID- Service Set Identifier * Broadcasts presence of WAP * Disable SSID broadcasting to hide WAP * Filter MAC addresses * List accepted MAC addresses * All others will be blocked * SSID name and password * Default set by manufacturer * Manufacturer’s website * Check manufacturer’s website * Reset SSID name and password * DHCP addresses * Disable automatic assignment * Assign static IP * Encryption * Very important feature * Three types * WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) * WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) * WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) * WEP (WIRED EQUIVALENT PRIVACY) * 64 & 128 bit encryption * Static encryption key * More susceptible to hacking * WPA ( Wi- Fi PROTECTED ACCESS) * Requires username and password * Dynamic encryption key * More secure * WPA2 (Wi-Fi PROTECTED ACCESS 2) * Latest version of encryption * 802.11i or AES protocol * Available with XP Service Pack 2 or later

On this video slide I learned about Wireless Security. The differences between Ad Hoc Mode and Wireless access point. I also learned how to configure Wireless Security, disable SSID broadcast, filter MAC addresses, change name and password, disable DHCP and configure encryptions (WEP, WPA and WPA2). This slide was very informing on a lot of issues concerning wireless security.
