[QUOTE="Tim Duffin, post: 49028, member: 400"] Re: Large scale concert production TCP/IP networking There is no reason to use a 192.x class C network in a live situation. The 192.x is only used because it is not resolvable from an exterior domain. The reason to not use WEP specifically, is because the number of scripting repeated attempts at breaking into your network rely on the router to reject the login attempts quickly. Wired Equivalent Privacy does not have any way of limiting the number of connection attempts per second-- this causes a reduction in available slots for incoming valid connections. Only WPA and WPA2 can do this type of filtering (with WPA now disallowed in critical path networks), thus they are used for high sensitivity networks. The idea being that by the time the code is broken, the user has lost interest in acquiring the data. Hacking of the actual login passkey can only occur if there are multiple devices logging into and out of the router during the time that the hacker has access to listen to the incoming and outgoing data packets and use packet injection. For now,WPA2 passkeys are unbreakable if used correctly. As an additional level of security, it is a good idea to also name your access point with a random sequence of letters and numbers to stop android phones with "rainbow tables" from guessing your SSID.
