It's been shown (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/excerpt/wirlsshacks_chap1/) that using WEP, MAC access lists and disabling SSID broadcasts aren't enough to stop someone from using your AP to connect to the internet. I still do these things to keep out casual users, but can I really prevent a determined hacker? I guess I could install a proxy between the AP and the dsl modem, but I don't really have a server to spare. Any other alternatives?
