Hacking tool : Securing a wireless network

While the process above seemed pretty easy to accomplish, there are a few things
that you can do to make sure that a hacker is not able to get into your own network.
This will help you to keep all of your information safe and sound. Some of the
things that you can do to make sure that your wireless network is safe includes:

● Make sure that you have the right kinds of anti-spyware, anti-virus, and
firewalls in place for the company. It also needs to be updated on a
frequent basis and check that the firewall is turned on.
● All of your ports need to be encrypted. This means that the access
points, routers, and base stations need to be scrambled up with the network
communications. These do come with encryption switches, but it is
common to find that these have been turned off so just turn them back on.
● Make sure that you go through and change the password that is on your
wireless router. You want it to be long and complex so that it is harder for
a hacker to get on.
● Whenever you are not using the network, make sure to turn it off. If the
network is off, it is harder for a hacker to get into it.
● Turn of the broadcaster for your router. This is basically how the device
is going to broadcast its presence. Genuine users already know that this
router is there so it is not really necessary for it to broadcast at all. This
just makes it easier for the hacker to get into your system.

Getting into a wireless network can be so great for a hacker. It allows them to
work on man in the middle attacks, which means they can just be passive and
receive information or they can be active and cause a lot of damage on the system.
Learning how to protect your network is critical to helping you to keep the hackers
out.
