  it really isn't as popular as the media makes it out to be, very few wardrivers, "chalk" from what I've heard, and what malicious hacker is going to point out your network, they won't, they are better off keeping it secret.

• Brace yourselves and read the second paragraph from the replies to the "digital devils" story. I don't wanna get off on a rant here, but a Senior Consultant for AT&T should really know better than to mislead the public about the security of their personal wireless network. To that aformentioned employee, please do not take this as a personal attack, you just happen to be wrong, that's all.
  My responses to your ideas.
  • Step 1: False. Most wardriving programs sniff the 2.4Ghz range that 802.11b uses and network names are regualrly transmitted over the network. Chooseing a obsecure one may help hide your identify, for a little while at least.
  • Step 2: MAC address filtering works as far as the wireless hacker not having a network sniffer, to pull your registered MAC address and spoof your cards.
  • Step 3: huh? Infrastructure mode is required by wireless routers, Ad-hoc (your only other choice) limits your network to access cards, sharing information.
  • So you have a network, unsecured, easy to find and a target of a wireless hacker. wardrivers won't care too much, you're just part of the roughly 70% of unsecured wireless networks out there. While I realize that WEP is insecure, there are other reliable methods that you could of mentioned, such as, VPN software or hardware, TKIP, LEAP, RADIUS etc.
• Having said all that, I really shouldn't waste my time, the original author of the article refered to WEP as "Wireless Encryption Protocol". jeez, do your homework.

now some other things I've been meaning to post.
