Hello, I am trying to understand the security limitations of my AP. In particular, I am trying to determine what someone would have access to if they were able to find my SSID, determine a valid MAC address, break my WEP key and connect to the AP wirelessly.
I should also clarify that my AP is a "Wireless-B Broadband Router" from linksys (http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=35&prid=544). It has a built-in firewall and four ethernet ports. I'm trying to determine if its wireless connection is inside our outside the built-in firewall. To test this out, I connected to it wirelessly and attempted to access a server connected to one of the ethernet ports via its internal IP address. This did not work. The router refused my connection. Are there any vulnerabilities that I am missing? I don't really care if someone wants to take the time to crack my AP and get an Internet connection. However, I must prevent them from gaining access to the wired network behind my AP's firewall. For now, I've put a firewall behind the wireless router just to be safe. Is this really necessary? Thanks, Brian Kuhn
