Looking for a way to hide Airport broadcast, for extra security

So I have a Linksys WRT54 router which pumps out a pretty strong signal from my apartment, (I can get 4 bars on the Aiport icon in the Menu Bar 3 floors down) the encryption key is WPA2 Personal, but I am wondering if it is possible to stop the network name being broadcast, so that new users who want to join it would have to know the name and the password and type both in manually.
Any ideas anyone?

That's because your System Preferences->Network->Advanced->Airport probably has "remember networks this computer has joined" check. Delete the network in the table above that and uncheck. Should be good to go.
Cheers
edit: you probably want to leave yours alone to remember the network. Everyone else will have to enter the network name and password unless they already have it.

HT1620 Where do I look for the security key when I download an item. Your website says your key is 0xD0261077

Where do I look for the security key when I download an item. Your website says your key is 0xD0261077?

Your question is somewhat terse, and I might infer you're conflating the PGP key used for Apple security-related email communications with cryptographic hashes (message digests) used to verify the integrity and the origin of files, and with digitally-signed binaries. While these areas are somewhat related, details vary. (If you're already familiar with this stuff, my apologies.)
The Apple PGP key is used to sign (verify) messages from the security folks at Apple, and can be to encrypt messages sent to the Apple security folks. See this Apple Security PGP web page for details on using the PGP key for message verification and for message encryption.
File downloads are implemented differently, and will generally involve a particular cryptographic hash or message digest (and not necessarily a PGP key), and what might be used used varies by the particular website and the download involved, with some sites using the older and insecure MD5, and with others increasingly using some variation of the less-insecure SHA cryptographic hash. Depending on the scheme used, these can protect against corruptions, or can also be used to sign the binaries. The system that Apple is encouraging developers to use is called Developer ID.
Shell commands used and useful here include md5 and various openssl commands for the sha hashes/digests.
If you have a particular public web site or file download, post a pointer and I'll have a look.

Looking for iPhone Security App Similar to Droid's Lookout Mobile Security

I'm a droid user, and because of the iPhone's one button and lack of customization I will most likely always be one. My sister however (even though she loves the droid) kept getting phones that after a few months stopped working. We aren't too sure why, I've never had a problem, but she always does.
Anyway we decided she should switch to iPhone and she is loving it. However I know my sister and she loses her phone constantly. On Droid the Lookout App allows you to locate your phone, back up your phone, 'scream' (in which your phone flashes it's LED and emits an increasingly louder siren to help you find it), lock (making it unuseable if stolen) and a 'wipe' feature that wipes out all your information from the phone if it lands in hands you can't retrieve from.
Now I saw on here that there is already phone backup provided by Apple and a few of these features already but I'm mainly looking for an app (or apps) that can perform the screaming, locating, phone lock and phone wipe feature.
Does anything like this exist? I know a lot of people seem to feel that what LookOut provides isn't needed on the iPhone but I just would feel safer if we could get these features on her new phone.

Looking for a security product

Hi,
I'm looking for a SINGLE security product in order to do:
- Network Admission Control
- Limit the bandwidth for some users or some groups of users
- Block peer-to-peer traffic
Can someone suggest?
Thank you.
Best regards.
Massimiliano.

Massimiliano,
ISR routers can do the job for you. Here is the link for NAC support on ISR:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/appliance/support_guide/license.html#wp54131
Zone-Based FW has the capacity to filter peer-to-peer traffic on the ISR.
QoS functionality should provide you the ability for bw limit.
Thanks,

I need to know what to look for on the toolbar when I am looking for a "secure site icon" such as the locked padlock on Internet Explorer

We are unable to identify when we are on a secure site as we can when using Internet Explorer.

Firefox 3 stil has the padlock in the right corner of the Status Bar (View > Status Bar).<br />
Firefox 4 won't have the Status Bar anymore, so there you only have the site favicon on the location bar showing the domain if there is a secure connection and the website is identified.<br />
Be aware that the presence of a padlock is no guarantee that you are connected to the expected website and that is the main reason for removal of the padlock.

Looking for a Secure Digital or SD card recommendation for MBPro and A540

I have an old Canon A540 camera that takes Secure Digital cards. The card I bought many years ago is not seen in the SD slot of my MBPro (latest version). If anyone has experience with that camera and the Mac's card slot I would love to know which make they use and if possible the size of the card. My intention is to by a 4 GB card, but any experience would be appreciated.

Launch Disk Utility and see if it appears there. Any SD card should work.

HP printer looking for WEP security...

... but my Time Capsule router settings only support several flavors of WPA security.
Any ideas?

To access one of the available WEP modes, you just need to hold down the Option key before making a Wireless Security selection. This will bring up the WEP (Transitional Security Network) option.

Why doesn't the iPad have a guest screen like the PC for extra security?

I just want to start off first by saying I just purchased my iPad about six months ago and I'm really enjoying it,but if you're like me,I believe in protecting my privacy.
I don't like to turn down any of friends or coworkers when I'm asked to use my iPad,but when you have such things as your personal pictures,movies,music,business documents,etc...you'd like to keep them from prying eyes. I thought that with the new iOS 7 update,that issue would've been fixed, but I was wrong. I'm hoping Apple would correct this problem with the next iOS update,it would make a lot of loyal Apple consumers & anyone who's new to purchasing the iPad for the first time very happy to know that feature is available.
Why doesn't the iPad offer a guest screen?

Tell Apple at the link below.

Looking for a Darknet/Secure BBS app

I have been a fan of Haxial KDX for the longest time, but due to the bugs, etc., I would like to move on. I'm looking for a secure darknet/bbs styled program that supports chat, filesharing, and of basic user management (who can login, who can't, etc..). I have been asking this question all over the web, and haven't gotten (or found) a single response. Waste has never worked right for me, by the way. I would definitely prefer it to be open source, which is why I thought it best to post here. Please help out, or at least direct me somewhere where I should ask... Thanks.
As an aside, the guy who wrote KDX and Hotline (Adam?? Hinckley) claimed on the Haxial website that he is willing to sell the project. I wouldn't mine purchasing and restarting the KDX Project, but I've been unable to get in contact with him. So...if you are him, or know him, or own the rights to Haxial KDX and all related projects...$$$$$

I've recently become a big fan of OneSwarm - http://oneswarm.cs.washington.edu - I like that it supports remote access.
But I'm definitely interested to see what this thread brings up!

My company is looking for help

My group is looking for a Security Architect with strong knowledge of Identity manager. we are a very distinguished group in NYC and need someone to help us put it together. Can anyone help? Thanks

Feel Free to give me a call. We would be happy to speak to you.
As a quick summary, our real differentiator is that we have a repeatable, scalable implementation architecture and installer that sits on top of your IDM solution. Not only can it reduce your coding time and risk greatly, it is also trainable and scalable. This way your future phases will require less work then your first phase (the way it should be), while still conforming and "plugging in" to a standard architecture. This, of course, maintains the consistency of the application as it matures.
We have this implemented this architecture in many many clients nationwide from higher education to retail to defense, and would be happy to discuss with you ways in which we may be able to partner and assist you.
Feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to share with you more about it.

Looking for a way to broadcast a line in to the Airpot Express?

Looking for a way to run line input into my macbook and broadcast it to the Airport Express to Play on my Stereo..

It is discussed on the xfce forums but unfortunately that solution requires editing by hand. However it does seem relatively easy to automate. Writing a graphical program for those tasks is something you'd only have to do once.

Looking for a way to hide the menu bar

hey all, i've been looking for a way to hide the menu bar completely and then mouse over it to bring it back, like how the dock is when it's hidden. i want the same thing for the menu bar to free up a little more space and make it a little cleaner looking. i'm currently using eclipse just to black it out completely but there's just a black bar across the top of my screen with it and i just want it gone. any suggestions?

As an aside; if you need to keep several apps fairly close to hand without cluttering the menu bar or dock, create a folder within your Applications folder, and place aliases of the apps in there, then drag the folder to the dock below the divider (next to the trash). Right click on the folder in the dock to get a pop-up list to choose from. I use the same idea for frequently used files and games too (seperate folders)
