Sick Geek Joke / WIFI Network

[TruePaige]

I set up a wireless network and made it an open wifi network so everyone can connect and then enabled MAC address filtering on it. Are there any security risks to this or is it as good as any other funny filtering techniques? =p

Might only be funny to me...but meh

MAC spoofing?

Is that still viable on new routers? if it is i'm disappointed =(

Ick my laptop keys are messing up.

yea i dont bother with wifi security. I leave mine open with mac filtering on. My neighbors arent very tech savvy anyways.

But first you need to be able to find the mac of an allowed client...which isnt too awfully hard

If you can't access the network, it can be very difficult.

That's pretty naive. I can use the Airjack driver and listen to your wireless traffic for a bit and pull up your MAC address. Here's something you may want to read up on:

It is extremely trivial to get the mac address. With some utilities, it's a one click deal.

1) Find allowed client MAC
2) Associate and communicate over wireless net
3) Run every known exploit possible against users machine
4) Or if you bored, just capture all their traffic for later analysis (find passwords, capture cookies, etc)

Secure your network.

Don't use that silly WEP either . The fact that the Nintendo DS (Lite) only uses WEP is the reason why I never go online with my DS (well and because I never play it...).

Unfortunately your phone is even easier to access from outside your home.

I'm fine with MAC filtering for 2 simple reasons.

First, it keeps out the lazy and clueless.
Second, anyone with the know how and ambition to get into my wireless wouldnt bother anyways and even if they did for sh1ts n grins they wouldnt find anything of importance anyways except an open pipe to the outside world.

My uncle lives in a neighborhood with a lot of open WiFi networks. One day I connected to one of them and saw they had a printer shared. I connected to the printer and then printed out instructions on how to enable WPA on their Linksys router complete with how to log into it with their current default passwords.

I would've loved to have seen their face when their printer started on its own and printed "Hi. I'm logged in to your wireless network right now. Here's how to secure it..."

Thats hilarious. Great, now I want to go find an open network with a shared printer

Yar - yer interweb booty is ripe for the takin. Secur yer network lest ye walk the plank!

+ your hidden gay porn collection.

WPA encryption with an 11+ character password = unhackable.

We did something similar except I would send a photocopy of my ass to their printers
