seems like Ev Mecham was ahead of his time - where's the roll of
aluminum foil when you need it anyway?
Of course, when creating a 26 digit hex key for both AP and client is
too much bother for the average home user, the rest is beyond the pale.
In an business environment - I gag when I see corporations with people's
credit data - etc. (not gonna mention specific companies) using WEP and
thinking that they have security.
I have a new server coming into one of my clients and I'm setting it up
to serve L2TP and the wireless users in the office will only be able to
get to the internet but they will be able to tunnel onto the LAN using
the L2TP - whether inside the office using wireless or on the road on
their own internet connection.
