I know wep is not a big deal to break, But If someone sniff the WEP, then they will spoof MAC. After, They will sniff the community password. Then I will see some access point down..... I don't give a sh.. about custumer stealing bandwith. That is not my worry.
I just don't wanna be down because of a computer sniffer that break in after 1 days. & those sniffer cannot keep it for themselve, They wanna show off, They will tell to their friend, Then the word will spread & so on. Buisness will no longer trust 802.11b stuff.. & so on. The sniffer will shut down some access point. Your custumer will be unhappy, & I will go out of buisness....... This is if everything goes bad, I guess. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lists Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 11:44 PM To: Pascal Losier Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Giving WEP to a custumer with laptop ???
