Wifi Security

Do you need internet security (e.g Norton) when browsing internet via wifi on IPOD Touch 3g.

Welcome to the discussions,
there is no virus risk for your ipod touch OS, since the ipod runs Apple OS and there have been no reports about viruses and Apple OS. The results may differ if someone is running a jailbroken device.
In case of mails you should be sure that your ISP offers to check incomming mails for viruses before you download your messages, you might pass them along by forwarding infected messages.

WIFI Security Camera's that can be monitored from my Macbook and iPhone4

I'm looking to purchase wifi security cameras that I can monitor from my Macbook and iPhone4. Can anybody tell me what the best camera is and what App. is the best to monitor from my iPhone4. Also, how would I set up my Macbook for monitoring. I'm new at this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You usually don't need an app or any software loaded on the phone/computer you are using to view the feed from IP cameras. You go to a web-site set up by the manufacturer, enter your user name and password and you see the picture through the web-browser.
However, check that the system you buy does not use Flash to send the pictures otherwise you won't be able to view them from an iPhone or iPad (but it will be fine on your MacBook).

Making my G4 Mini wifi-secure?

I have a couple of G4 Mac Minis each equipped BTO with Airport Extreme.
I'm soon going to be in a keyed wifi environment and I need to learn how to do what folks have recommended I do:
encrypt everything, use ssh, sfpt, ssl, and set up a VPN.
I barely understand what those all are, let alone know how to actually DO them...is there a spot online where I can get instruction or a tutorial on this?
Maybe I'll need some information from this wifi administrator to fully complete the set up, but I need to get crackin on the ABC's of settin 'er up so that I can be secure in my wifi security.
thanks for any links, tips, or pointers!

Securing your mail, unless you are running your own server, is totally dependent on your email provider. For example, if your email provider has you enable SSL on your smtp and imap/pop, you're encrypted. A university that I used to attend was a bit more draconian than that. They didn't let you send mail through their server unless you were on their subnet. So at home I couldn't send it the usual way. But since the university supplied a (secure) shell account, I could tunnel smtp through ssh and login via ssh to my university shell account and then launch Mail and send email via their server via my tunneled ssh connection.
If you have a shell account anywhere that provides you with sftp or ssh command line access, whether they allow access via password authentication or public key exchange is up to the entity maintaining the ssh server. You, as the client, authenticate however they say to authenticate.
Doing online banking over the web for example, is using SSL so even an open wireless access point is okay for that because the "https" is encrypting that between you and the bank.
Your work may require you to use VPN (and they would therefore provide you with the VPN client program and tell you all the necesary client configuration so that you could connect to your work's LAN). One might make the analogy that VPN is, more or less, a "Cadillac" version of a "Chevrolet" ssh tunnel.
If you are running the "server," e.g. at home so you can connect to your home machine from afar, then YOU make the rules, and set up passwordless key-exchange-only ssh, tunnel VNC and AFP through it, forward port 22 on your home router to your home computer, enable remote login on your home Mac so you can connect to it from afar via ssh, enable personal file sharing so the internal "localhost" ports on your computer can let you do AFP sorts of things, and similarly for VNC and other services. Important point, with tunneling services, yes, you have to open the appropriate ports for each of those services on the Mac's firewall, but only need to open the single port for ssh/sftp on your router, and the public key only authentication scheme keeps you extremely safe. If you are running your own mail server, where random smtpp servers are trying to deliver email to your server for your server to distribute to your server's multiple mail accounts, that gets a little trickier, but it doesn't sound like you are doing or wanting to do that. Like I said, most of my previous drivel was thinking that you were wanting to be the server, not just do client activities.
And this is all independent of the wireless encryption. Like I said, if you're setting up a home wireless router using wireless encryption, just use WPA2 or WPA with a strong password to keep the freeloaders and hackers from affiliating onto your residential LAN and using your broadband internet access or trying to snoop around on computers that are rightfully affiliated to your residential LAN. If you don't control the wireless access point, then the person that does will tell you the channel protection scheme involved, and what its password is. And this only provides protection from your wireless laptop to the wireless access point. After your traffic leaves the wireless access point and hits the internet, the ssh tunnel, or SSL-wrapper around your mail/web traffic, or the VPN, is what protects your traffic from internet evildoers.

Iphone wifi security

Hi guys, can anyone recommend decent and safe wifi security system/software via an app perhaps?
Just want to be safe while using out and about, coffee shops etc etc.
Also one while using the mac book pro, also for wifi, would be great.
Thanks a lot!

SSo you watched him violate federal and local law concerning unauthorized access to computers?
I would report him to the police.

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.
Cheers... Rick

WiFi Security Option No Longer There in 1.0.1 Update??

Is the Security Option under the WiFi/Settings no longer there in 1.0.1 Update??
Without it there, it is no longer allowing me to get on 128BIT HEX WEP encrypted WiFi Networks.
Thanks, Scott K.

No, it is no longer there...
But, I HAVE found a solution...
For a 128BIT HEX password, if you place a 0x before the password, it will then take.
I noticed these two characters before other 128BIT HEX passwords in the Keychain application on my MacBook, and tried it on the iPhone, and it works!!
Thanks, Scott K.

Macbook pro wifi security won't let me connect to public/login networks

I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro retina switching from Windows to Mac. One very frustrating thing I have found is that I am unable to connect to public wifi spots such as AT&T in Barnes and Noble. I read that a security udpate requires that the mac "phone" an Ip address at apple.com to inquire about the hotspot certificate in order to determine its legitimacy. The problem is I can't gain network access until I agree to the login/authentication page for the public network. Does anyone know a work around/way to connect to these public wifi spots? I get that security is important but it is very annoying not to be able to use wifi in places like Barnes and Nobles and Starbucks.

WiFi Security for a hostapd Access Point

Hi,
I configured a TP-LINK TL-WN721N to serve as an access point using hostapd. I'm using WPA2, and I've set up MAC filtering, and a 16 character alphanumeric password from GRC. What else can I do to make my network more secure? This is my first experience with WiFi.
Thanks in advance,
SgrA

I think that is pretty secure. If you want more, you could try something like forcing the use of a vpn; like, once they get an ip, they can only get access to the port of the vpn on your server, and everything else is blocked.
If they want something else, like web navigation, they have to do it over the vpn. That way, even if they get access to your lan, they can't do anything without the vpn certs. Try to do it using openvpn

Bootcamp wifi security in windows 7 (mavericks)

Hi guys,
I recently installed windows 7 professional 64-bit on my late 2013 imac 21.5", and everything seems to work properly apart from the internet connection. I don't think this is a problem with the drivers (at least, in the same way i've seen in other threads) because it can recognise and connect to networks, but it says no internet access. The only way I've managed to connect to my network is turning off the internet security (it was originally on WPA I think) but obviously I would rather not have my network insecure for any prolonged period. Can anybody help?
Thanks

I notice, in WIFI (g), with WEP security, MacBook Pro running in Windows 7 (Bootcamp) may not be able to connect to the available network directly.
You have to setup thru the wizard manually in order to save the profile so that Windows 7 will then connect it automatically.

Wifi Security Disabled

Hello everyone,
I just have a quick question. I am in the possesion of a Linksys Wireless N Broadband Router (WRT160 N V3)
And according to the Wireless security tab the security is disabled. However in Windows this isn't the case.
In Windows the wireless access point is secured (WPA2-Personal, AES) and I'm obliged to use a password
everytime I want to connect to this access point, a key which was generated during the setup of this router.
Can someone explain to me why in the router settings the wifi appears to be disabled?
Thanks in advance,
LTVX

I would suggest you to try upgrading the Router’s firmware. Here is the link for upgrading the firmware of the Router: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=a68b3a0c05f441f290600a2054f81e29_4272.xml&pid=80&r... . After upgrading the Router’s firmware, reset the Router. Steps to reset the router:
Push the reset button on Router for 30 seconds, turn off the Router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
Power cycle it and re-configure the router from scratch. Then check the connectivity status.

3G vs WiFi security

When come to sensitive data transmission, which is more secured? 3G or WiFi connection?

3G is encrypted over the air and cannot be casually intercepted. You still need a VPN to protect your data over it's entire path beyond the mobile network and across the Internet, of course.
Wifi depends on the network to which you connect
Public wifi in hotels etc is generally run with no security and is easily intercepted within the range of the wifi signal.
If you have to enter a password to make the wifi connection then there is some security from casual snooping but you have to check what it is
WEP - easily cracked and should be treated as insecure
WPA - secure provided that the password is well controlled. If a hotel uses WPA but leaves this weeks password on a noticeboard the network is not secure
The wired network from the hotel access point back to and including the Internet should be treated as insecure in all cases and again you need to be running a VPN to protect that part, or ensuring that you are using https if your application runs in a browser

WiFi Security & Parental Controls?

I have just bought my 13 year old Son an Android for Christmas and I want to protect him and the phone from the dangers of the web.
two questions:
1. I have already signed up to Orange Safeguard to protect him from 18+ sites when on 3g, but is there anyway I can protect him from these sites when he is using WiFi through our BT home hub?
2. Can I protect the phone from viruses/spyware when used via Wifi?
Solved!

Chromebook wifi security/ SSID changes without touching all of them?

Hello, Looking for some advice I have searched and only found a very limited bit of information on my issue.I have recently taken over and IT department and I have 900+ Dell Chromebooks. One of my fist goals is to get rid of my open wifi connection on my network for obvious reasons. I guess the previous IT Director thought it was easier to have the AP with no encryption. I don't want to have to touch all of the chrome books. I have created another ssid and I added it in the google admin console with the password and pushed the policy update out to the test chrome book that I am using. I have also ran a policy update on the chromebook manually. The chrome book can see the new SSID however its still wants the password. I know there has to be a way to change an SSID or password without touching all of the devices. Any and all help would...

Do I need wifi security in public

Do I need security fo wifi in public places

I think you're asking if you will have to enter a password, in, say, a coffee shop or other public WiFi place. That is entirely up to the WiFi owner.
