[LUNI] Making a private network somewhat public.

[Samir Faci]

I mean disable wireless, wireless has one of the weakest encryption schemes,
since you're not using it, disable it.  It's one less thing you have to
worry about.


"Nothing will stop a determined hacker with skill."

My point exactly.  Come on man, you're spending $50 on a firewall, when
there's a hardware firewall that go up to $20,000.  Do you really think it's
going to be as secure as the 20K unit? and even with the 20K unit, there's
still no guarantees.

The only thing that's absolute about security, is that there is no such
thing as absolute security.  You want absolute security?  turn off your
machines, dig a hole, and poor cement over the machines.  They'll be almost
secure.

. . .


If this stuff is your average run of the mill business operation.. you're
fine with the solution we provided.  If you want to be paranoid.  Use a
flash disk, or just plug/unplug the cable when you need to access the other
lan.
