Re: wireless question ?

This is opinon:

Practically speaking: YES. Mostly because unless you are NSA or CIA or US Treasury doing sensitive info on WiFi (which they don't), who has the motivation to spend time in your driveway hacking? It's much easier to go to any Internet backbone site and eavesdrop on your unencrypted email!

again, IMO, lacking motivation and physical access, WEP128 is good enough. WPA is better.

Many will disagree - esp. the wack-o paranoids.

Can any wireless network ever be totally secure ? As we know all of them are easily breakable except WPA-psk if the password is strong enough...
What do you all say ?
