1. Install a
Firewall A firewall helps protect your PC by preventing unauthorized users from
gaining access to your computer through the Internet or a network. It acts as a
barrier that checks any information coming from the Internet or a network, and
then either blocks the information or allows it to pass through to your
computer.
2. Change the
Administrative Password on your Wireless Routers Each manufacturer ships their
wireless routers with a default password for easy initial access. These
passwords are easy to find on vendor support sites, and should therefore be
changed immediately.
3. Change the
Default SSID Name and Turn off SSID Broadcasting This will require your
wireless client computers to manually enter the name of your SSID (Service Set
Identifier) before they can connect to your network, greatly minimizing the
damage from the casual user whose laptop is configured to connect to any
available SSID broadcast it finds. You should also change the SSID name from
the factory default, since these are just as well-known as the default
passwords
4. Disable DHCP for
a SOHO network with only a few computers consider disabling DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) on your router and assigning IP addresses to your
client computers manually. On newer wireless routers, you can even restrict
access to the router to specific MAC addresses.
5. Replace WEP with
WPA. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol that was designed to
provide a wireless computer network with a level of security and privacy
comparable to what is usually expected of a wired computer network. WEP is a
very weak form of security that uses common 60 or 108 bit key shared among all
of the devices on the network to encrypt the wireless data. Hackers can access
tools freely available on the Internet that can crack a WEP key in as little as
5 minutes. Once the WEP key is cracked, the network traffic instantly turns
into clear text – making it easy for the hacker to treat the network like any
open network. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a powerful, standards-based,
interoperable security technology for wireless computer networks. It provides
strong data protection by using 128-bit encryption keys and dynamic session keys
to ensure a wireless computer network's privacy and security. Many
cryptographers are confident that WPA addresses all the known attacks on WEP.
It also adds strong user authentication,
which was absent in WEP.
6. Hide the Wireless Network:
Do not broadcast the SSID of the
Wireless Network. This will help you in protecting your
Wireless being invisible to the
people who do not know about Passive War Driving
7. Use a Secured
Key :
You can use the WEP Key
protection on your Wireless Network to protect your Wireless
Network Connection. Although this
is not the ultimate security measure but will help you a lot against the Script
Kiddies who do not know how to break into the WEP Protection.
8. Choosing the Best Key:
As
Wpa Wifi Networks cannot be hacked directly, unless that network is with
WPS(Wi-Fi Protected System) , Hackers Try To Hack Wifi Using Wordlist So You
Should Select Any Password That Can Not Be In The Wordlist.
Just
Like This – 785##@!1234$$*abcd
This Type of Passwords Can Not Be
in Wordlist, So Better Use This kind Of Passwords.
9. If you are not interested on
all this, use password generators that’s all, it’s very simple.
============= Hacking Don't Need Agreements =============
Just
Remember One Thing You Don't Need To Seek Anyone's Permission To Hack Anything
Or Anyone As Long As It Is Ethical, This Is The Main Principle Of Hacking Dream
