10 Tips for Wireless Home Network Security

Many folks setting up wireless home networks rush through the job to get their Internet connectivity working as quickly as possible. That’s totally understandable. It’s also quite risky as numerous security problems can result. Today’s Wi-Fi networking products don’t always help the situation as configuring their security features can be time-consuming and non-intuitive. The recommendations below summarize the steps you should take to improve the security of your home wireless network.

1. Change Default Administrator Passwords (and Usernames)

At the core of most Wi-Fi home networks is an access point or router. To set up these pieces of equipment, manufacturers provide Web pages that allow owners to enter their network address and account information. These Web tools are protected with a login screen (username and password) so that only the rightful owner can do this. However, for any given piece of equipment, the logins provided are simple and very well-known to hackers on the Internet. Change these settings immediately.

2. Turn on (Compatible) WPA / WEP Encryption

All Wi-Fi equipment supports some form of encryption. Encryption technology scrambles messages sent over wireless networks so that they cannot be easily read by humans. Several encryption technologies exist for Wi-Fi today. Naturally you will want to pick the strongest form of encryption that works with your wireless network. However, the way these technologies work, all Wi-Fi devices on your network must share the identical encryption settings. Therefore you may need to find a “lowest common demoninator” setting.

3. Change the Default SSID

Access points and routers all use a network name called the SSID. Manufacturers normally ship their products with the same SSID set. For example, the SSID for Linksys devices is normally “linksys.” True, knowing the SSID does not by itself allow your neighbors to break into your network, but it is a start. More importantly, when someone finds a default SSID, they see it is a poorly configured network and are much more likely to attack it. Change the default SSID immediately when configuring wireless security on your network.

4. Enable MAC Address Filtering

Each piece of Wi-Fi gear possesses a unique identifier called the physical address or MAC address. Access points and routers keep track of the MAC addresses of all devices that connect to them. Many such products offer the owner an option to key in the MAC addresses of their home equipment, that restricts the network to only allow connections from those devices. Do this, but also know that the feature is not so powerful as it may seem. Hackers and their software programs can fake MAC addresses easily.

5. Disable SSID Broadcast

In Wi-Fi networking, the wireless access point or router typically broadcasts the network name (SSID) over the air at regular intervals. This feature was designed for businesses and mobile hotspots where Wi-Fi clients may roam in and out of range. In the home, this roaming feature is unnecessary, and it increases the likelihood someone will try to log in to your home network. Fortunately, most Wi-Fi access points allow the SSID broadcast feature to be disabled by the network administrator.

6. Do Not Auto-Connect to Open Wi-Fi Networks

Connecting to an open Wi-Fi network such as a free wireless hotspot or your neighbor’s router exposes your computer to security risks. Although not normally enabled, most computers have a setting available allowing these connections to happen automatically without notifying you (the user). This setting should not be enabled except in temporary situations.

7. Assign Static IP Addresses to Devices

Most home networkers gravitate toward using dynamic IP addresses. DHCP technology is indeed easy to set up. Unfortunately, this convenience also works to the advantage of network attackers, who can easily obtain valid IP addresses from your network’s DHCP pool. Turn off DHCP on the router or access point, set a fixed IP address range instead, then configure each connected device to match. Use a private IP address range (like 10.0.0.x) to prevent computers from being directly reached from the Internet.

8. Enable Firewalls On Each Computer and the Router

Modern network routers contain built-in firewall capability, but the option also exists to disable them. Ensure that your router’s firewall is turned on. For extra protection, consider installing and runningpersonal firewall software on each computer connected to the router.

9. Position the Router or Access Point Safely

Wi-Fi signals normally reach to the exterior of a home. A small amount of signal leakage outdoors is not a problem, but the further this signal reaches, the easier it is for others to detect and exploit. Wi-Fi signals often reach through neighboring homes and into streets, for example. When installing a wireless home network, the position of the access point or router determines its reach. Try to position these devices near the center of the home rather than near windows to minimize leakage.

10. Turn Off the Network During Extended Periods of Non-Use

The ultimate in wireless security measures, shutting down your network will most certainly prevent outside hackers from breaking in! While impractical to turn off and on the devices frequently, at least consider doing so during travel or extended periods offline. Computer disk drives have been known to suffer from power cycle wear-and-tear, but this is a secondary concern for broadband modems and routers.

If you own a wireless router but are only using it wired (Ethernet) connections, you can also sometimes turn off Wi-Fi on a broadband router without powering down the entire network.

Are Wireless Networks Secure?

Question: Are Wireless Networks Secure?

No computer network is truly secure, but how does wireless network security stack up to that of traditional wired networks?

Answer: Unfortunately, no computer network is truly secure. It’s always theoretically possible for eavesdroppers to view or “snoop” the traffic on any network, and it’s often possible to add or “inject” unwelcome traffic as well. However, some networks are built and managed much more securely than others. For both wired and wireless networks alike, the real question to answer becomes – is it secure enough?

Wireless networks add an extra level of security complexity compared to wired networks. Whereas wired networks send electrical signals or pulses of light through cable, wireless radio signals propogate through the air and are naturally easier to intercept. Signals from most wireless LANs (WLANs) pass through exterior walls and into nearby streets or parking lots.

Network engineers and other technology experts have closely scrutinized wireless network security because of the open-air nature of wireless communications. The practice of wardriving, for example, exposed the vulnerabilities of home WLANs and accelerated the pace of security technology advances in home wireless equipment.

Overall, conventional wisdom holds that wireless networks are now “secure enough” to use in the vast majority of homes, and many businesses. Security features like 128-bit WEP and WPA can scramble or “encrypt” network traffic so that its contents can not easily be deciphered by snoopers. Likewise, wireless routers and access points (APs) incorporate access control features such as MAC address filtering that deny network requests from unwanted clients.

Obviously every home or business must determine for themselves the level of risk they are comfortable in taking when implementing a wireless network. The better a wireless network is administered, the more secure it becomes. However, the only truly secure network is the one never built!

Akhir-akhir ini banyak sekali kriminalitas terjadi yang informasinya diambil dari profile kita yang ada di Facebook. Karena Facebook, orang mungkin bisa memiliki persepsi miring tentang kita. Misalnya saja saat foto-foto memalukan tersebar di antara rekan kerja. Atau terpajangnnya konten berbau esek-esek  di wall, yang malah membuat kita dianggap aneh. Bisa juga ada orang-orang tertentu yang secara tak langsung mencemarkan nama baik kita, karena update status yang mereka lakukan. Walau terkesan sepele, Hal ini bisa membuat opini publik yang mencemarkan nama baik kita.

Beberapa Facebooker mungkin tidak paham, atau malas mempelajari, pengaturan privasi (privacy settings) di Facebook. Padahal caranya sepele. Jangan karena ketidaktahuan, nama baik kita dikorbankan. Dibawah ini ada 5 tips untuk menghindari ‘kecelakaan’ privasi di Facebook, karena ketidaktahuan kita akan pengaturan privasi.

-

1. Manfaatkan “Friend List”. Bagi kebanyakan orang, fitur friend list mungkin tak dianggap penting. Namun hal ini membantu kita memanajemen teman facebook yang mungkin berjumlah ratusan.

Fitur ini juga memudahkan kita mencari teman facebook lain yang jarang  dikontak. Friend list pun berfungsi memudahkan pengaturan spesifikasi privasi, antara kita dan seseorang. Jangan malas memanajemen teman kita di Facebook.

-

2. Hilangkan Nama Kita di “Facebook Search”. Bagi yang belum mengerti, kita bisa menghilangkan nama kita di Facebook Search. Hal ini tentu untuk menjaga agar profil kita tak mudah dicari/dilacak orang.

Caranya:
- Cari ‘privacy settings’, pada opsi account di kanan atas.
- Pada privacy settings, pilih ’search’
- Non-aktifkan ‘publik search result’
- Klik ‘Confirm’.

-

3. Jangan Biarkan Anda Dipermalukan Karena Foto/Video. Seringkali foto-foto culun dan memalukan kita yang di upload teman, bisa mencemarkan nama baik. Kalau sudah begini, rasa malu bercampur emosi pasti muncul. Tidak usah bingung akan hal ini. Atur saja setting privasi foto/video nya.

Caranya:
- Cari ‘privacy settings’, pada opsi account di kanan atas.
- Pada privacy settings, pilih ‘Profile Information’.
- Atur pada pilihan ‘Photo Albums’ dan ‘Photos and Videos of me’, untuk mengatur siapa saja yang berhak melihat foto/video kita.

-

4. Hilangkan “Status Relationship” Kita. Untuk menghindari kisah pribadi asmara kita diumbar ke publik, ada baiknya menghilangkan status hubungan di Facebook. Tapi awas, jika anda tak memiliki ‘perisai’ diri, hal ini bisa menimbulkan potensi perselingkuhan. Ini semua berbalik ke diri sendiri.

Caranya:
- Cari ‘privacy settings’, pada opsi account di kanan atas.
- Pada privacy settings, pilih ‘Profile Information’.
- Pilih ‘Familiy and Relationship’.
- Untuk lebih detail pilih ‘custom privacy’.

-

5. Hindari Aplikasi Berbau Esek-esek. Seringkali aplikasi di Facebook memiliki konten dewasa. Misalnya kuis tentang apa gaya sex favorit anda, atau bintang JAV yang cocok dengan anda. Walau fungsinya sebagai having fun, jika informasi ini diketahui orang yang tidak tepat, hal ini bisa menimbulkan persepsi negatif.

Agar orang tidak memiliki persepsi negatif pada diri kita, cari aman saja. Hindari semua aplikasi yang berbau esek-esek. Kuncinya ada pada diri sendiri. Mudah kan?

Semoga tips ini membantu.

1) Be wary of e-mails asking for your personal information.
Any e-mail asking for your name, birth date, e-mail username, e-mail password, or any other type of personal information, no matter who the e-mail appears to be from, is almost certainly a scam.

If you have any reason to believe it may be legitimate, do not reply to the e-mail or click any hyperlinks; instead copy and paste the web URL or go to that company’s website for contact information. Don’t hesitate to contact the company’s support channel to confirm legitimacy.

2) Carefully read e-mails that appear suspicious.
E-mails that are poorly worded, have typos, or have phrases such as “this is not a joke” or “forward this message to your friends” are generally scam e-mails. Sometimes company names or brands are misspelled or inaccurate
3) Protect your password.
Create a strong password for your account by using more than 7 characters and having a combination of upper and lower case characters, numbers, and special characters, like the @ or # symbols. It’s also a good idea to change your password on a regular basis. Learn More.

If you receive a notification from Microsoft Customer Support confirming your request to change your password, as I did this past week, and you haven’t recently changed your password, that’s a signal that someone else may be trying to gain access to your account, and you should immediately change your password.

4) Take action!
If you think someone has accessed your account, that the Windows Live ID sign-in page looks fraudulent, or you receive a suspicious e-mail that tries to confirm a password change you didn’t authorise, change your password immediately via the instructions above, or go to:http://account.live.com.
5) Help us identify new scams.
If you’re using the Full version of, you can select the dropdown next to “Junk”, then select “Report phishing scam”. Whatever you do, do not reply back to the sender.
