Everyone should be sharing that Wifi. Whatever happened to being a customer? Where have our rights gone to? The ISPs certainly want you to lock them down, they dont want ANYONE getting access to the internet for free. Its reduculous that apartments complexes cant provide services like that. All corporations want to control everything. We should be opening them up and letting the world use the damn internet that was supposed to be free anyhow.

But you are correct, the idea that 99% of the consumer base would be able to even provide themselves (or maintain an out-of-the-box solution) with security even halfway decent is ridiculous.

Meaning that as far as 99% of the consumers are concerned, anyone bothering to read a five-page instruction on how to use kismet and aircrack (and/or reaper) will waltz right through whatever protection they have.

As soon as your own computer establishes a link with the router, any listener using most network diagnostics programs will have both.

Indeed, the only thing you are doing is setting yourself up for a court case where the court must assume that given your security precautions, the chances that you got your wifi cracked is remote.

Putting files on your computer requires hacking the actual computer – far harder to do than it is breaking wifi encryption.
