Do you really think it helps to go from a 1024-bit key to a 1036-bit? In other words, Portknocking belongs in the "security for dummies" pile right along with "turning off your SSID announce" and "use MAC address filtering" when people talk about wifi "security". All three are useless and give you a false sense of having "increased" security. The real security is disable plaintext passwords. Then no amount of bruteforce will ever get in. -- Randal L.
