I'm off to see if I can delete the account I have there (one I made, just so I could go on and report a post, not that it made any difference).<br />Also, great informative post. I know I can be pretty lax with passwords.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541611128064822330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-36270028325531088462015-02-10T14:54:15.881+00:002015-02-10T14:54:15.881+00:00A side note worth mentioning: this is why it's...A side note worth mentioning: this is why it's a good idea <i>not</i> to have a hidden SSID (i.e. non-broadcasting) on your wireless network. If the base station doesn't broadcast "My Home Net", each client has to send out queries ("does anyone have My Home Net"), which it'll do wherever it is - and a bad actor with suitable hardware can respond "sure", accept whatever password it's given, and it's all downhill from there.<br /><br />And a USB stick can present as a USB hub, so not only does it contain a malicious keyboard, it has a new network adaptor.

Still not sure if I'm secure enough.

It got used by the tech crew as an emergency router/AP for the mixer LAN (yes, really: that mixer has iPad and laptop remotes)... before I reset it, it announced itself as the home AP, and my son came up to me, puzzled, and said 'Dad... why has my phone just connected to the house WiFi?'. And there were probably 20 or 30 people there who have that AP in their 'auto connect' list.Mike Whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165272678144625943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-24133849563965281152015-02-10T12:25:13.801+00:002015-02-10T12:25:13.801+00:00Very good post, Mike.
