Securing Your Wireless Network
Working from home while using a wireless local area network (WLAN) may lead to theft of sensitive information and hacker or virus infiltration unless proper measures are taken. As WLANs send information over radio waves, someone with a receiver in your area could be picking up the transmission, therefore gaining access to your computer. They could load viruses on to your computer which could be transferred to other computers on your network. Up to 75 per cent of WLAN users do not have basic security features installed, while 20 per cent are left completely open with the default configurations. It is recommended that wireless router/access point setup be always done though a wired client. You can...

If you've got more than one computer at home, you may be thinking about setting up a wireless network. It can make file-sharing a breeze, with no more having to burn data onto a CD-ROM or trying to fit it all into a memory stick (or -shudder- a floppy disc!) to get it across the room. And going wireless lets you position the router in a convenient central location, without having to run wires along the baseboards or under carpets. But setting up a wireless (or 'wi-fi') system can be a daunting task if you've never done it. Or is it? With technology today, firing up a wireless router and adding a few access points has never been easier. Many of the setup routines are automated, with your input...

Why Would The Hacker Want Me To Connect? The Wi-Fi account holder could be intentionally allowing you access to his/her wireless connection so that they can harvest data direct from your...
How to Conduct a Penetration Test
A penetration test is an assessment of your network's security, including potential vulnerabilities and how they could be exploited. Businesses and individuals perform penetration tests in order to pinpoint and correct potential ways an individual could gain access to their network. Penetration testing is similar to ethical hacking in that a trusted individual is given permission to attack a network using the same methods as those employed by an illegal hacker. The first step in conducting a penetration test is planning. Before the testing begins, you should set out goals, time tables, and parameters. That is, determine your major concerns, decide which aspects of your network you want tested, and...

Don't Hack Me - Password Security
I am ashamed to admit it but I use the same password for many of my online accounts. Using the same password for access to online accounts is a hacker's dream. A hacker only needs to get into one of my accounts, find the password and hack all my other online accounts. But, how do you have a different password for each account? I use the internet regularly and have plenty of online accounts, which only makes me more vulnerable than someone with one or two. Here, I outline some easy steps to avoid being hacked. 1. Passwords can contain characters, numbers and symbols. Longer passwords are safer. Each character or number is a barrier against being hacked. So the longer your password is, the better. 2...
Cell phones: A wireless Way to Speak!!!!
A mobile phone or cell phone is an electronic telecommunications piece of equipment. The majority of current cell phones connect to the network using a wireless radio wave transmission technology, although satellite phones are exceptions. These cell phones communicate by means of a cellular network of base stations, which are known as cell sites, which is in turn linked to the conventional telephone network and were first introduced in the early to mid 1980s, the so called 1G generation. Earlier cell phones operating without a cellular network, the so-called 0G generation, such as Mobile Telephone Service, date back to 1946.

What is Ethical Hacking?
An Ethical Hacker is an expert hired by a company to attempt to attack their network and computer system the same way a hacker would. Ethical Hackers use the same techniques and tactics as those used by illegal hackers to breach corporate security systems. The end result is the company's ability to prevent an intrusion before it ever occurs. A company can't know if their security system is solid unless they test it. It's hard, though, for a company's IT team to thoroughly ring out the system. Try as they might, the techs can't go at the system with all the malicious or mischievous motives of a true illegal hacker. To thoroughly uncover vulnerabilities, the theory goes; you must examine your security...
