said by snipper_cr:said by RARPSL:You also want to turn off the SSID Beacon and turn on MAC Filtering. While the lack of an SSID will prevent the network from being "seen" by simple probe packages and the Operating System it will not eliminate it. The MAC filtering will require the attacker to monitor the transmissions to get a MAC Address to claim to be so makes it harder but not impossible to get into the Router. In both cases you want to make it as hard as possible to get in so as to make them go after easier prey.
Smart advice from an even smarter man! Indeed, mac adresses can be spoofed, cloaked networks can be unclocked but as RARPSL said the idea is to make it as hard as possible to get a hacker (of which i would say .01% of the population actually can hack a wireless network, and .01% of those would care to go after yours) to hack your network.
Thank you for the praise.
