Thats an interesting statment about wireless security. I use WPA with a
35 character passphrase consisting of mixed alpha, numeric, and special
characters. I highly doubt that anyone who does not know my PSK will be
able to access my data or send anything out via my router. A DoS attack
however, is something else altogether.
