I took a look at the WPS thing, and I think that feature will not be widely adopted by end users. Based on the description I read, it seems too complicated for the average user. I read an article, forget where - something more than 25 percent of home wifi installations are unencrypted. (We all know people who poach their neighbor's internet connection). Of the ones that are encrypted, most use the least secure method and the password is the family name or the dog's name. Why? People don't care and can't be bothered with it. It's just like home security - how many people have massive locks, intrusion detection, silent messaging to a guard company, bars on windows, etc. Just like a 63 digit password, at some point the intrusion protection becomes more of an inconvenience than it's worth. It's best to keep personal and confidential information off your PC anyway, that way, the true risk is minimized. If someone wants to break into my system to listen to Jethro Tull, I'm ok with that. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55229 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
