[QUOTE="Dan Mortensen, post: 138583, member: 2826"] Re: X-Air To me, "criminal" is determined by intent as well as actions, with seriousness of results playing a role as well. There is no question that there is a criminal element in the hacker world whose intent is to steal or defraud and cause serious damage to those they've hacked, as well as others whose intent is simply to cause big problems for "fun". The ones that I would think we are most likely to see at our gigs are those who are looking into technology to see how far they can get and what they can learn. While I don't welcome them into my system, I can appreciate that their efforts can help us make our stuff more secure by forcing us to secure our networks, and that will help protect us from those who are acting with criminal intent. In other news, Behringer yesterday put out a video which addresses this issue and hits the high points of the discussion without accepting culpability for having weak security on the built-in Access Point. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CpcZbRrGvk[/URL] They also posted links to several videos to learn more about 2.4 Gig networking: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YHovkP1JC8[/URL] [URL]http://windowsitpro.com/mobile/wi-fi-best-practices[/URL] [URL="http://compnetworking.about.com/od/wifihomenetworking/qt/wifichannel.htm"]http://compnetworking.about.com/od/w...ifichannel.htm[/URL] That second outside link has a couple of interesting passages: [COLOR=#555555][FONT=lucida_granderegular]"Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the oldest encryption algorithm available for use and one you should completely avoid.
