Building a Private Wireless Infrastructure

Apr 19,2010 by alperen

The 802.11 standard has been broken, even with all the security measures
built into it, usually because people put these systems into their companies without understanding how to use the integrated security
measures to protect their wireless infrastructure against attack.
In contrast, your wired infrastructure is more secure, because someone
has to acquire physical access to the actual Ethernet wire in order to
bypass the firewall in your organization and gain access to any system
within your network.
When dealing with a wireless system, a potential hacker must get
close enough to access the wireless carrier signal of your wireless access
point. Most potential hackers must get within several hundred feet, but
new wireless NIC cards have an external antenna designed to gain
access to the network from even farther away.
