Arnold, MD | Wireless security? How secure will this be for the average business user who could give a hacker on board about 3-5 hours to do whatever he/she pleases? I'd rather have an ethernet port on the armrest of my seat. |

I'd rather have an ethernet port on the armrest of my seat. You would be on the same side of the router/switch/nat (if there is one) as everyone else on the plane, wired wouldn't matter.
In public you could get hacked by wired, wi-fi, IR, Bluetooth, etc without the proper security practices.
Use a good firewall and turn off non-essential access, the newer versions of these protocols have higher security options.

Cisco and other vender's have a function...something like "isolate wireless clients".
I'm not even going to pretend to understand how it works, but a high level description is that X and Y both connect to "Linksys". They are both on 10.10.10.0/24. X, at .1 cannot talk to Y at .2. X and Y, though can both connect to anything on the wired side of the AP.
Firewall/Filtered bridge - isolation to the rest of the network.
X connecting to Y has, I believe in a MS patch (for XP/Vista) that does warn of a Peer-to-Peer connection. |
