Question for the Geeks

[bdurrett]

I know at home I can see 3 other WLANs in my apartment building, 2 of which are wide open. Mine is encrypted (128-bit), MAC-restricted, and the SSID broadcast is shut off so a war-driver will not find it. At my MumInLaws apartment I can see 2 other WLANs but they are both encrypted and at the office of my church I can see one other WLAN which is MAC restricted but not encrypted. Scary stuff..... and SO SIMPLE to secure.....

I ran a packet sniffer on the large wan I administer once as an experiment.
I nearly required counseling.

In one office a guy was surfing porn while his grilfriend was sobbing in the job counselors office because she just found she was pregnant.

In another an employee was looking at pictures of women and animals...donkeys...(ugly story there - best left untold)

In another a 40 something gymnastics instructor was using one of our resource machines to hit on 12-year-olds in a yahoo chat site. (you should have seen his eyes when I showed up and had a word with him - prison now)

I have informed the bosses that I categorically refuse to ever spy on employees again. I'd rather go diving for diamonds in a septic tank.

The answer to the original question - use the xp firewall. Get good av - I use mcafee managed virus defense or 8.0i - which also has unwanted program, buffer overflow and a few other things built it - there are others as good or better from time to time. I use Microsoft anti- spyware on my networks because it's free and as good as the rest. (I tested the three then-current best awhile back) Basically you go for a layered defense. At work - technically - anything on your computer belongs to the company.

You allways take a risk when you're connected to the internet.

Brings a new meaning to "Disney Vacations for Adults" they show on T.V.

Hey, now. Let's not criticize Eeyore for the "career choices" he's made. A lot of Disney characters have found work in less-than-desirable roles since Ed Eisner shut down the majority of Disney's paint-cell animation factories. A donkey's gotta put food on the table...be it oats and grain or ramen noodles.

Just because Eeyore's starred in some stag films such as "Hundred Acre Goods", "Weenie the Pooh", "The Adventures of Christopher Throbbin'", and the "The Hunny Tree" pts. I, II, III, doesn't mean we have to forget innocent days. Besides some of his best lines were after he started making movies in California's Studio City.

I mean, c'mon....."Spanks for noticin'" ?....Who doesn't know THAT line!?

That is just SO wrong on SO many levels..... I don't EVEN want to go there.....
