Bug/vulnerability in wifi security settings

Hi there. I have an iPhone 4S. On about 21 January it was suddenly unable to connect to a WiFi access point at work to which it had always been able to do. So I tried to connect it to my personal WiFi access point which I always carry and to which I have been able to do since I set it up lst year. This also failed along with my connecting to my WiFi access point at home. I then read about Apple iPhone 4S WiFi issues (some prevailing since last year in September). I then disabled security on both my personal and home WiFi access points and my iPhone was able to connect. What seems strange is that an iPhone does not have an option to setup WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK or any other WiFi security option.
Is anyone aware of iPhones WiFi security bugs which seem to exist currently. Resetting the network settings has not helped. My iOS is at version 6.0.1 and is up to date according to my iPhone.
So is Apple going to release a patch to this WiFi security issue?

Hi there
I'm wondering if the following is happening to you.
When in Acrobat, you are viewing the document differently and able to make edits. When you are opening the PDF from RoboHelp (or more accurately, the browser) you are presenting it from the PDF reader and not Acrobat. Thus you have different capabiities.

Bug? Can't unlock security settings

I am trying to change the security settings of my Mac running Mavericks.
Whenever I click on the "unlock" button, there's a short flicker of that button – but no unlock dialog comes up.
This is strange and very annoying. Does it work for you?
Repairing access rights doesn't change the situation.

I had a similar problem?
When I tried to open the padlock, it showed me the password dialog, but shook "no" at me every time I entered the correct password.
I went to the Users & Groups pane, unlocked it successfully (same password), then went back to Security & Privacy, and it unlocked this time.

If the soft reset failed, do hard reset. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings.

How to Change Security Settings on an Existing Wireless Network

I'd like to change existing network security settings to WPA2, AES or at least to from TKIP to AES.
I'm familiar with browser access to the router and with how to change the settings on the router.
My question is how to do this as painlessly as possible for the network. Step by step would be nice
I guess first I have to change the router settings using the computer running Easy Link Advisor?
Do I then have to disconnect/reconnect that computer?
Do I have to disconnect every other computer and then connect each one again with the updated settings?
Will the change in security settings affect my print server? If so, do I have to set it up from scratch in ELA?
For the record, I have a WRT-300N and the print server is a 54g.
Anyone who reads this may also want to look into recent news. May not be a big deal, but a vulnerability of WPA/TKIP has been identified.
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.
Solved!

Do I really need to set security for my wireless connection. I searched for available WiFi in my area prior to installing my network and none were available. Does that matter?
The network never did function right from the start. My desktop is a Dell Inspiron 510n and is not wireless capable? So when I tried to add my HP mni 1000 it did not let me access the Internet.
So now I have an unsecured network. Am I vulnerable to attack?
Which leads me to my real question How do I change the security settings?
Oh yeah, my home computer crashed due to a program I downloaded, so I do not have access to it. i'm a mess....
Thanks,for any help

How to change security settings in Flash Player if internet is unavailable?

I have a local html page that has an embedded .swf file,
which is also on my local computer. The .swf file is for local use
only when there is no Internet service available. The first time I
open the html page on an internet browser, IE, I got the Flash
Security prompt window, which asks me to change the security
settings. The setting change is done online under the url:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.ht ml
If there is no internet connection, how then can one change
the security settings so that one can access the local swf? Any
help would be appreciated.

Ipod touch security settings

Hi, can anyone help me?
I want to know what security settings are in-built to Safari when I use it to access the internet. Are there any? Or am I reliant on security within my wi-fi network, if any?

For using the safari app on the touch..you are secure for certain websites that offer protection...often indicated by a little lock in the address bar.
If your home wifi network is WEP protected then your network is secure from others using your home network than just you and those that know the password.
If you use any public wifi network that is not password protected then you are vulnerable.There are no security settings in the safari app on the touch that you can change or alter. Your security for the touch is dictated b the type of network you use and whether its protected or not.And by the secure websites you visit like email and such

Security Settings in Robohelp 9 PDF files

I think this is a Robohelp problem because it only happens when I launch a PDF from a Robohelp-generated site. It does NOT happen in Adobe Acrobat. It may be a conflict with Windows 7 - we just loaded it yesterday - because before that everything worked.
We created a PDF file with interactive fields, and NO security settings. The file has signature fields that populate with your digital ID when you click the red tag. It works just fine in Acrobat - you can type data into the fields, and the digital ID dialog launches when you click the red tag. If you click OK, the field displays your digital signature.
However, when I launch the file from online help I created with Robohelp 9, I get an error message stating that the security settings on the document don't allow adding text or placing a signature on it. I double checked, and there is NO security. See the attached images. Is this a bug? Should I report it?
Thanks

Seeing a bunch of SSL related posts today so is likely a bug in OSX 10.9 but probaby not fixable until a fix is released.

Help w/ Security Settings for Mobile Hotspot w/ 2.2

I posted this over on moto's forum yesterday, but so far I've gotten no response. I figured I go ahead & post it here also, to see if some(1) may be able to help me w/ it:
I've searched far & wide, & haven't been able to come up w/ an answer to this. I would very much appreciate any info, advice, or education on this.
When I travel, I use the X to connect my laptop (HP notebook w/ Vista home prem) to the net, thru the hotspot. I've only been able to connect thru the hotspot using the WEP security setting. Since updtg. to (2.2), still can only connect using WEP setting. Now the only post I've been able to find w/ anything @ all about the hotspot & the security settings, was just a post about the steps to initially set it up. That was here on this forum & there were screen shots of pages frm the vzw site that (1) of the vzw employees had posted to answer that question. It showed WAP - 2 being used.
Now frm what I've read & understand, from searching for info on the diff. between the (2) settings, is that WAP / WAP - 2 is a much more secure setting than WEP. Also, I try to read-up on this kind of stuff to learn it, however, I'm still doing just that, learning & don't completely understand the diff. frm a tech. standpnt. I do sometimes do banking & paying bills online while traveling, so this is a major concern for me.
Is the diff. between the security of the (2) settings enough to worry about, as far as the fact that I'm dealing w/ personal info? Obviously, I don't need somebody in next hotel rm., etc., being able to get into my connection & see my info on my laptop. Also, has any(1) had any luck connecting thru the hotspot w/ WAP or WAP - 2 on their laptop? If so, is the problem poss. settings on my laptop? Thank u in advance any help ya'll can offer.

Ahh, okay, P.C., I see what you are talking about.
Network security is something that I've thrown myself into pretty heavily this year as we are more and more deploying networks within our audio and lighting systems for shows and concerts. In one instance, we have digital mixing consoles that can be controlled via that console's editing software running on a PC (or Mac, if you will). There are times where, instead of having the typical huge mixing console, 3 or 4 racks of power supplies, processing and effects units, and other supplies, I have a nice, comfortable chair and my X200 tablet PC mixing the entire show. I use the basic Linksys router connected to my Gateway notebook, the console, or consoles, and the speaker systems' processors. Then I use the X200 and Remote Desktop to, well, remotely control all of that. One of my purchases later this year will be a real enterprise router, hopefully for more range and speed.
Naturally, it would suck to no end if someone were to hack into my WLAN network, thinking they were logging onto someone's network to steal some internet time. The havoc that this could cause could potentially be a show-stopper. Or in extreme cases, cause some damage from accidental overdriving something.
Unfortunately, I've only been able to learn some very basic things because of my work load, shows, and just time in general. But I have learned that WEP is fairly easy to crack, while WPA is much, much harder, and WPA-2 being even more secure. What I would learn to know is WHY this is the case. I have enabled the WPA-2 security features in all of my routers. I also use the MAC address filters, although, yes, MAC addresses can be spoofed without too much trouble. But it's another layer of protection.
As I mentioned in the PM, I plan to enable the hotspot feature on my account this week and play with the X's hotspot capability during our upcoming state fair. I'll be looking at the security settings pretty closely since I know how those road guys are (since I AM one, LOL), constantly hunting for a connection to log onto, LOL.
As I said, I'm woefully lacking in thorough knowledge about network security. I'll bet there are some real wizs (wizi?) around here that can be more help than I can. I have heard a couple of IT guys say that they never, ever do banking and financial business on ANY wifi connection, regardless of the security method used. One of these guys has said that he'd rather do banking over a good 3G connection that he would any kind of WLAN. Whether there's anything one way or the other to these claims, I simply don't know, but I'd love to find out.
One thing is for certain...Hotels are FULL of folks hunting for internet connections and logging onto anything they can, err, get their hands on. So it goes without saying that you need better encryption than WEP if you plan to do financial stuff online. I haven't looked, but can you turn off the SSID on the X's hotspot feature? That would at least, not tell the world about the network you have, LOL
Hopefully, I'll learn some more next week. In the meantime, I hope some IT types can comment on this subject, And thanx in advance,
Take care,
Geri O

Iphone security in public and security settings?

When using an iphone (5s) are there particular security meassures you are suppose to take when in public? I assumed, at first, it would be similar to using a laptop, however, I understand an iphone has no fire wall?
Is it safer to use one's carrier for banking and the like when in public on public wifi or through your iphone carrier?
And/or is it helpful to have a password manager? I know that Lastpass is one type of password manager and has one-time passwords for public use with laptops -- but is it necessary to use one time passwords on the iphone?
What about keylogging?
Also are there any particular security settings or tips I should know about?
I did call iphone on these questions, but I wasn't able to get through to someone who would actually be able to answer my questions. Basically, she told me she's had no issues with using her iPhone and takes no such precautions.
I'd appreciate some guidance here, thanks!

Here's the deal: When on ANY public WiFi, use common sense...if you go to any site, look for HTTPS, you see that, & your data is encrypted. But, you gotta make sure you see that on every page...some sites only use HTTPS for the login page, so be careful. If you don't see HTTPS, don't enter any personal information.
Do that, & you don't have to worry. I go even futher...I never go to any of my banking, credit card, or other financial sites using public WiFi.
Be aware, a sophisticated user, even if you were on an HTTPS site, could steal your session & act as you on that site.
In other words, there are no 100% secure public WiFi spots.
I never check mail on any public WiFi spot. If using my phone, I use 3G, if using my laptop, I Tether.
Folks use VPN's for the simple reason that public WiFi networks are real easy to packet sniff with a laptop & easy to obtain software. Most corporations require the use of VPN's for their mobile devices, users don't have a choice. You should never use a public WiFi to do anything that could expose your finances or passwords that you'd really regret, if someone stole those details.
If the public WiFi spot is in Billings, Montana, you most likely don't have much to worry about...Grand Central Station...assume everything you do on that WiFi is being copied.

You Tube Widget - Flash Security Settings

Hello,
I managed to embed sucessfully a You Tube video by using flash factor widget. It works when published to a web server no problem. However it looks like anybody else who views it has to adjust their flash security settings.
Is there away around this issue?
Help would be greatly appreciated
Thankyou
Alison

Hi all
One way past this would be to include and install a light web server known as "Server2Go". It's pretty simple to install and it tricks the Flash Player into thinking the content is running from a server.
Site to obtain Server2Go:

Using public wireless network, security settings?

Hi there,
I'm a new Mac user. If I'm using my MacBook Pro on a public wireless network, do I need to change any security settings to prevent other users from accessing my documents/hard drive etc?
Thanks in advance.
M.

Yes turn of guest access to your computer in the accounts preference pane.
Turn off any sharing protocols you may have enabled in your sharing preference pane.
In the security preference pane click on the firewall tab and set access for specific services.
Also when using public wifi it is a good idea not to use email or connect to any online banks etc.

How can I disable the Security Settings popup in Acrobat XI?

We are currently using Acrobat X and are getting ready to upgrade to version XI. We dynamically set the security settings w/a button in the toolbar menu to secure documents. Works great. However, while testing the same functionality in version XI a popup always appears when this function is called. The settings are correct in the security setting popup but we do not need the popup to actually appear. Is there a way to disable the popup from appearing? It's confusing my users.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Adobe generally has quarterly updates for Acrobat/Reader. If they decide to fix this, I'd be surprised if it made the first one (January 2013?), so it would probably be more like April/July, but that's just a guess. When you submit the bug report, be sure to include how much this negatively affects your workflows and prevents you from upgrading.

Security settings won't let me paste into a form - WHY?

So... I'm filling out a form, but when I get to the Zip COde, I'm suddenly told "Your browser security settings don't permit the automatic execution of paste operations. Please use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V instead".
In the first place, I ''had'' used Ctrl+V. And certainly I never set up my seurity this way, so I think it's a bug in version 3.6.17 - what gives?
