Re: What worries me...... You bring up a very good point with this post. I believe it can all solved with better end user hardware, and better logs from network devices. But with this in light, it would raise hardware cost, and TCO of a wireless network. If someone has the knowledge to ghost mac addresses, you will need the technology to log this, and track where it came from. Just my 5 cents. |

| I agree. The technology already exists to do all of this, but at what TCO, as you ask? We are going to have to pay for security, of that I am certain. How much for what level is the real question. Also, computer users need to be more educated, but that's yet another can of worms.
Last year, I purchased a wireless card for my laptop. I don't yet have a wireless network, but business I visit do. While installing the card, it immediately picked up two completely open and unsecure networks in my building. So, I went to those offices. One guy was shocked, but let me show him how to lock it down. The other guy told me to buzz off, but not in so many words. He's lucky I don't have a mean streak in me, or I could have owned his computer. What a dummy!
