What are the three approaches to wireless security?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

wireless networks can be made more secure using encryption and password protection.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA (WiFi Protected Access), and WPA2

A+ Guide to Hardware: pg. 906

I agree those are ways to make it more secure, but, as you stated on page 906, it says those are ways to encrypt data, the general description to secure a wireless network.

Other ways to secure a wireless network (also on page 906) are:

Disable SSID

Filter Mac Address

Data Encryption

Change Firmware Default Settings

Update Firmware

Implement Virtual Private Network

Answer 3

Use encryption, disable SSID broadcasting, and filter MAC addresses.

Answer 4

1) password protected

2) scanned by the provider

3) reports to the administrator if there is an unknown computer on the network

Answer 5

Do you mean hacking the password? If so, there are Brute force attack, Dictionary attack, and Rainbow table attack.

Answer 6

The best way to secure a wireless network is to set up an encryption key. An encryption key is used as like a literal key to keep one's wireless network safe while it is up and running.
