Good idea! That mob from the APEC summit must be bored these days.
firstly.
use MAC filtering
Yup. I have an ACL for MAC addrs. Can that be cracked? i.e. keep
trying the *huge* MAC address space until they get in? Must take
until the heat death of the universe to do that.
second.
get rid of WEP and use WPA or WPA2
if someone is using your network, you should be able to see a dhcp lease
from your dhcp server (which might just be an adsl/ip router). this is a
good place to start!
from there you can block their mac address
otherwise take a look in the routers arp table and look for strange MAC
addresses - then block them.
Thanks for the advice. And something new to investigate. I'll try to figure
out how to ssh to the WiFi (it's an airport ... might have trouble there!)
and look around. Apple products are so dumbed down that the Airport
Base Stn Utility doesn't give you much in that regard.
cheers
