secure wireless means:
- everything you do will be sent over ssh or ipsec
- you do NOT get to use the same login id and passwd
as your email acct and normal ssh accts
- you do NOT get to use dhcp
- you do not get to use ftp/telnet/pop3/imap3
- if privacy is important... no emails .. no https web over
wireless
- use the latest patched ssh, wireless_tools, etc
- you can only surf web pages or read publicly archived
mailing lists
- don't use pass words or pass phrases that can be guessed
in 1-5 minute of P4-3G w/ 1GB of memory in compute time
- assume that the black van on the top of the mountaintop or high rise
hotel room that you can see in the far distance can see all your data
with their high-gain antenna
- if they are doing that, they've already collected all
the packets they need to figure out your broken wep-key
and possibly but unlikely to break your wpa
- how to break wireless... how to protect it ... and all the other
gazzilllion to do or not to do ..
