To begin with, I can’t tell whether this article applies to 802.11a, 802.11b or both. If this were a pressing issue for me, I’d look up the standards myself and check. Nonetheless, the author should be clear on this point. Second, I’d love to see a discussion of the relative merits of WEP vs. the IPSec/L2TP facilities built into Windows 2000/XP. IPSec/L2TP seem to be the direction Microsoft is headed, but the lack of RADIUS support in most 802.11b/a access points makes it hard to implement.]]>Greg Williams Tue, 21 May 2002 09:59:22 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/wifi-standards/802-11-security-shortcomings#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/wifi-standards/802-11-security-shortcomings#commentsAnchorTue, 21 May 2002 06:26:14 GMT
In order for an attacker to recieve transmissions, wouldn’t he have to be in close proximity. My Linksys hub has a range of 800 feet.]]>Sidney Moore Tue, 21 May 2002 06:26:14 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/wifi-standards/802-11-security-shortcomings#commentsAnchor
