How does MAC address filtering enable wireless network security at the device level?
MAC address filter is a pretty secure way of rudimentary network security. Enabling it makes the network available only to know devices. However, this leaves it vulnerable to MAC address spoofing.
What is the least secure and if possible should NOT be used on a network?
Unsecured wireless network without MAC filter.
What Bridges filter network frames based on?
physical address
What wireless security failure allows a network administration to configure an access point with wireless NIC unique identifiers so that only these NIC's can connect to the wireless network?
It's called MAC filter. It allows to create black or white list depending on what you need.
Can you hook up a wireless router to brighthouse yourself?
yes, you can... it has no authentication .. all router settings can be left default - just add a mac filter for your wireless security and hide the SSID of the wireless network
Which defensive measures can you take to mitigate the possibility that your network could be used in this type of attack?
1. Filter packets leaving your network with source addresses that do not originate inside your network. 2. Filter packets entering your network with a broadcast address for a destination
What are the three approaches to wireless security?
The three ways a wireless network can be secured and safe. First, by enabling WEP or WPA/WPA2 wireless security key or password on the router. Second, by enabling wireless MAC filter. And third, by disabling the SSID Broadcast of the router.
What can a wireless accesss point use to restrict devices that can connect to it?
There are different things you can use to restrict access a wireless access point. First one is to use so called black/white lists. Black list forbids certain MAC address to access the wireless access point everybody else is fine. White list allows only certain MAC address to access the wireless access point. Sometimes it's called MAC filter. Second thing you can use is a wireless password. It allows to connect to your network only if you know the password. You should use WPA at least.
Which two practices help prevent unauthorized access to a wireless network?
Using a wireless encryption key i.e WPA (Or less secure WEP) and MAC Address filtering. You can also stop the broadcasting the SSID, however the wireless access point can still be picked up.
What is a Mac filter list?
It is a list on your internet router that filters computers by their MAC address, which is the fingerprint of the network adapter.
How can you lock your wireless network after it's been configured?
Use security settings for your wireless network, such as SSID hiding, and wireless encryption. It's better if you use WPA AES at least, but WPA-PSK2 AES is better. You can use also MAC filter. But if you have WPA-PSK2 AES you do not need to because it's almost impossible to crack the encryption.
When securing a Wi-fi wireless network which is considered better security to filter MAC addresses use encryption or not broadcast the SSID?
Using encryption is the best answer because it requires a security key.
