    Chapter 2 Wireless Security Checklist

    4Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter

    Chapter 2:Wireless Security ChecklistWireless networks are convenient and easy to install, sohomes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them

    at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates bysending inormation over radio waves, it can be morevulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network.Like signals rom your cellular or cordless phones, signalsrom your wireless network can also be intercepted. Sinceyou cannot physically prevent someone rom connectingto your wireless network, you need to take some additionalsteps to keep your network secure.

    1. Change the default wirelessnetwork name or SSID

    Wireless devices have a deault wireless network nameor Service Set Identiier (SSID) set by the actory. Thisis the name o your wireless network, and can be upto 32 characters in length. Linksys wireless productsuse linksys as the deault wireless network name. Youshould change the wireless network name to somethingunique to distinguish your wireless network rom otherwireless networks that may exist around you, but do notuse personal inormation (such as your Social Securitynumber) because this inormation may be available oranyone to see when browsing or wireless networks.

    2. Change the default password

    For wireless products such as access points, routers, andgateways, you will be asked or a password when youwant to change their settings. These devices have a deaultpassword set by the actory. The Linksys deault passwordis admin. Hackers know these deaults and may try touse them to access your wireless device and change yournetwork settings. To thwart any unauthorized changes,customize the devices password so it will be hard toguess.

    3. Enable MAC address filtering

    Linksys routers and gateways give you the ability toenable Media Access Control (MAC) address iltering. TheMAC address is a unique series o numbers and lettersassigned to every networking device. With MAC addressiltering enabled, wireless network access is providedsolely or wireless devices with speciic MAC addresses.For example, you can speciy the MAC address o eachcomputer in your home so that only those computers canaccess your wireless network.

    4. Enable encryption

    Encryption protects data transmitted over a wirelessnetwork. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) and WiredEquivalency Privacy (WEP) oer dierent levels o security

    or wireless communication.A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more securethan a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the inormationas it passes over the airwaves, you should enable thehighest level o encryption supported by your networkequipment.

    WEP is an older encryption standard and may be theonly option available on some older devices that do notsupport WPA.

    General Network Security GuidelinesWireless network security is useless i the underlyingnetwork is not secure.

    Password protect all computers on the network andindividually password protect sensitive iles.

    Change passwords on a regular basis.

    Install anti-virus sotware and personal irewallsotware.

    Disable ile sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applicationsmay open ile sharing without your consent and/or

    knowledge.

    Additional Security Tips

    Keep wireless routers, access points, or gateways awayrom exterior walls and windows.

    Turn wireless routers, access points, or gatewayso when they are not being used (at night, duringvacations).

    Use strong passphrases that are at least eight charactersin length. Combine letters and numbers to avoid usingstandard words that can be ound in the dictionary.

    GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee yourreedom to share and change ree sotwareto make surethe sotware is ree or all its users. This General PublicLicense applies to most o the Free Sotware Foundationssotware and to any other program whose authorscommit to using it. (Some other Free Sotware Foundation

    sotware is covered by the GNU Lesser General PublicLicense instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

    When we speak o ree sotware, we are reerring toreedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses aredesigned to make sure that you have the reedom todistribute copies o ree sotware (and charge or thisservice i you wish), that you receive source code or canget it i you want it, that you can change the sotware oruse pieces o it in new ree programs; and that you knowyou can do these things.

    To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions thatorbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to

    surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certainresponsibilities or you i you distribute copies o thesotware, or i you modiy it.

    For example, i you distribute copies o such a program,whether gratis or or a ee, you must give the recipientsall the rights that you have. You must make sure that they,too, receive or can get the source code. And you mustshow them these terms so they know their rights.

    We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright thesotware, and (2) oer you this license which gives youlegal permission to copy, distribute and/or modiy thesotware.

    Also, or each authors protection and ours, we want tomake certain that everyone understands that there is nowarranty or this ree sotware. I the sotware is modiiedby someone else and passed on, we want its recipientsto know that what they have is not the original, so thatany problems introduced by others will not relect on theoriginal authors reputations.

    Finally, any ree program is threatened constantly bysotware patents. We wish to avoid the danger thatredistributors o a ree program will individually obtainpatent licenses, in eect making the program proprietary.To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must

    be licensed or everyones ree use or not licensed at all.

    The precise terms and conditions or copying, distributionand modiication ollow.

    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND

    MODIFICATION

    This License applies to any program or other work0.which contains a notice placed by the copyrightholder saying it may be distributed under the termso this General Public License. The Program, below,reers to any such program or work, and a workbased on the Program means either the Programor any derivative work under copyright law: that isto say, a work containing the Program or a portiono it, either verbatim or with modiications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinater,translation is included without limitation in the termmodiication.) Each licensee is addressed as you.

    Activities other than copying, distribution andmodiication are not covered by this License; theyare outside its scope. The act o running the Program

    is not restricted, and the output rom the Program iscovered only i its contents constitute a work based onthe Program (independent o having been made byrunning the Program). Whether that is true dependson what the Program does.

    You may copy and distribute verbatim copies o the1.Programs source code as you receive it, in any medium,provided that you conspicuously and appropriatelypublish on each copy an appropriate copyrightnotice and disclaimer o warranty; keep intact all thenotices that reer to this License and to the absenceo any warranty; and give any other recipients o theProgram a copy o this License along with the Program.

    You may charge a ee or the physical act o transerringa copy, and you may at your option oer warrantyprotection in exchange or a ee.

    You may modiy your copy or copies o the Program2.or any portion o it, thus orming a work based on theProgram, and copy and distribute such modiicationsor work under the terms o Section 1 above, providedthat you also meet all o these conditions:

    You must cause the modiied iles to carrya.prominent notices stating that you changed theiles and the date o any change.

    You must cause any work that you distribute orb.publish, that in whole or in part contains or isderived rom the Program or any part thereo, to belicensed as a whole at no charge to all third partiesunder the terms o this License.

    I the modiied program normally reads commandsc.interactively when run, you must cause it, whenstarted running or such interactive use in the mostordinary way, to print or display an announcementincluding an appropriate copyright notice anda notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying

    that you provide a warranty) and that users mayredistribute the program under these conditions,and telling the user how to view a copy othis License. (Exception: i the Program itsel isinteractive but does not normally print such anannouncement, your work based on the Programis not required to print an announcement.)

    These requirements apply to the modiied work asa whole. I identiiable sections o that work are notderived rom the Program, and can be reasonablyconsidered independent and separate works inthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do notapply to those sections when you distribute them asseparate works. But when you distribute the samesections as part o a whole which is a work based onthe Program, the distribution o the whole must be onthe terms o this License, whose permissions or otherlicensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to eachand every part regardless o who wrote it.

    Thus, it is not the intent o this section to claim rightsor contest your rights to work written entirely by you;rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control thedistribution o derivative or collective works based onthe Program.

    In addition, mere aggregation o another work notbased on the Program with the Program (or with awork based on the Program) on a volume o a storageor distribution medium does not bring the other workunder the scope o this License.

    You may copy and distribute the Program (or a3.work based on it, under Section 2) in object code orexecutable orm under the terms o Sections 1 and 2above provided that you also do one o the ollowing:

    Accompany it with the complete correspondinga.machine-readable source code, which must bedistributed under the terms o Sections 1 and 2above on a medium customarily used or sotwareinterchange; or,

    Accompany it with a written oer, valid or at leastb.three years, to give any third party, or a chargeno more than your cost o physically perormingsource distribution, a complete machine-readablecopy o the corresponding source code, to bedistributed under the terms o Sections 1 and 2above on a medium customarily used or sotwareinterchange; or,

    Accompany it with the inormation you received asc.to the oer to distribute corresponding source code.(This alternative is allowed only or noncommercialdistribution and only i you received the programin object code or executable orm with such anoer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

    The source code or a work means the preerred ormo the work or making modiications to it. For anexecutable work, complete source code means allthe source code or all modules it contains, plus anyassociated interace deinition iles, plus the scriptsused to control compilation and installation o theexecutable. However, as a special exception, the sourcecode distributed need not include anything that isnormally distributed (in either source or binary orm)with the major components (compiler, kernel, and soon) o the operating system on which the executableruns, unless that component itsel accompanies theexecutable.

    I distribution o executable or object code is madeby oering access to copy rom a designated place,then oering equivalent access to copy the sourcecode rom the same place counts as distribution othe source code, even though third parties are notcompelled to copy the source along with the objectcode.

    You may not copy, modiy, sublicense, or distribute4.the Program except as expressly provided underthis License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modiy,sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and willautomatically terminate your rights under this License.However, parties who have received copies, or rights,rom you under this License will not have their licensesterminated so long as such parties remain in ullcompliance.

    You are not required to accept this License, since you5.have not signed it. However, nothing else grants youpermission to modiy or distribute the Program or itsderivative works. These actions are prohibited by law iyou do not accept this License. Thereore, by modiyingor distributing the Program (or any work based on theProgram), you indicate your acceptance o this Licenseto do so, and all its terms and conditions or copying,

    distributing or modiying the Program or works basedon it.

    Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work6.based on the Program), the recipient automaticallyreceives a license rom the original licensor to copy,distribute or modiy the Program subject to theseterms and conditions. You may not impose any urtherrestrictions on the recipients exercise o the rightsgranted herein. You are not responsible or enorcingcompliance by third parties to this License.
