Well, to be pedantic, if someone cracks it but doesn't publicly prove it, you're still unsafe. ;-) You really have to wonder at manufacturers who continue to offer unsafe hardware, providing options that were proved unsafe years ago. And even more so when they set them as the default! And I'm sick of products with totally misleading documentation. For instance, this bullshit is written with my Dlink router: "Enabling Hidden Mode is another way to secure your network. With this option enabled, no wireless clients will be able to see your wireless network when they perform scan to see what's available. In order for your wireless devices to connect to your router, you will need to manually enter the Wireless Network Name on each device." It's utterly wrong in the first sentence. Hiding the SSID broadcast doesn't "secure" anything, at all. The clueless will set it, thinking it makes them safe, when it doesn't offer them the slightest bit of protection. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
