Re: Don't bother

That's not a realistic solution. Of course, if wireless encryption, WEP is easily cracked by any desktop in a matter of minutes. WAP has always been crackable, given enough processing power and a big enough data set. Of course, if that 1000 hour crack could be done in 6 minutes with an NVIDIA graphics card, that would be a game changer. But what are the options available? Assuming a regular PC would take about 5 months to brute force a 13 character key, using an Nvidia card would take that to about 45 minutes. Heck, I've got 45 minutes to waste outside an office building, do you?

Not for homes. But for offices it is. As a matter of fact my employer does not allow ANY wireless connection out of security reasons. We work with sensitive data and have to conform to bank-industry security standards. (We aren't a bank though).

The only wireless option we have considered, and isn't too hard to implement.... is using VPN. It wouldn't be too hard to install the VPN client we already use on our laptops, (which most have installed anyways as they take it home) and have them logon to a VPN before they can access *anything* on the network.

For offices VPN implementation isn't too difficult. And you can actually leave your wireless access points completely open, they only thing people will be able to reach on your network..... is a VPN server.
