humphrey88 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2006 Hi.I realised that many networks at the risk of being attacked by intruders. Research has shown that improper configurations are the main causes for this vulnerability. Therefore, is there any suggestion to ensure that our networks are secured?Humphrey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vizskywalker 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2006 Add encryption, WEP is decent, WPA is better. Unless you are talking about wired networks. Either way, get a firewall and anti-virus program. And get spyware and adware cleaning software. I recommend Lavasoft's Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy. And before posting, search the forum, this question has been answered several times.~Viz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WeaponX 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2006 Yep, if you are using a wireless network, then enable the WEP feature (or WPA if your wireless card/router supports it). It's also recommended that you change your SSID and password to something different than the default one provided. Disable it from being broadcasted. If you want to go with more of an overkill, enable the MAC address filtering also. That way it will only allow those computers with the specific hardware (MAC address) to use your network.
