Nerowolfe, I would like to apologize for insulting you.
DOES COMCAST NEED TO KNOW THE MAC ADDRESS OF MY ROUTER HOW TO
Nothing wrong with network security, I have my firewall, router, switch, and computers locked down to only ports I use, but the real driving force behind that is because I know how to do it, so why not. Personally I feel that you came across a little paranoid. If you do need to do this, then again you are not worried about WiFi because you would use a different signal like a Meru network system that it just appears as white noise.

I hate to break the news to you, but we are just not that important that we need to install multiple proxies, firewalls, deterrent networks, and dummy computers.

The amount of security that they implement goes hand in hand with the risks involved. The people going after the military networks are not the same guys going after your ID.

And people with that kind of knowledge are not going to coffee houses to try to get lucky.Īs for the military ethernet cables, dude you cant be serious. More and more mainstream coffee houses do utilize wireless client issolation on their network so listening to another conversation would take some knowledge. i agree that online banking at a coffee house may not be such a hot idea but again is not like any one can just go to a coffee house and take over or capture enough packets to listen to the conversation. On that same note WPA and WPA2 have constatnly changing keys with every packet, so the amount of packets that you would need to capture in order to decrypt the key is just absurd. It is much easier for your ID thief to pillage your garbage for useful information than to learn how to hack WPA2. ID theft happens from many means not just electronic or from a coffee house. The idea that people make electronic transactions from a coffee shop WiFi is incredulous, to me. More and more, it's from electronic means. Now, about a dozen people get their ID hacked every minute. A few years ago, I would have thought that to be paranoid. This is why I recommend getting a good ID Theft Insurance company. In general, I presume that anyone can eventually break into any system that is networked, and proceed from there. In some military facilities or contractors, even the ethernet cables are triple shielded and white noise is added onto the outer shield. It's a matter of when, and anyone can still record the datastreams now for later decryption. I agree but there is a false sense of security to believe WiFi is safe. Most of the Wi-Fi cracks to date involve dictionary attacks, which is why I mentioned "Password" is a really bad Wi-Fi password. If you use a reasonably long passphrase, WPA is not easily hackable, and WPA2/AES has not been broken. If you are broadcasting information into space, anyone can receive it and eventually decrypt it. I've tried changing my MAC Address by following some tutorial online using Terminal, but it went back to my original MAC address once I restarted.I need to figure out how to eliminate this problem, ONCE AND FOR ALL.hopefully the experts here at Apple Support can help me.īe aware that WPA has been recently hacked. Now this perv has used my MAC address and is using that to access my wireless network. And after checking the 'Parental Control Internet Activity Log' from logging into my router connected to the Comcast Home Networking system, I noticed constant attempts to access sites w/ ****, and sex. Since I'm the only one that really uses my home network, so I suppose, and I don't associate myself with any websites that deal with murder, sex or ****, this would possibly exposed if my network was STILL compromised. So, I log into my router and decided to add 'Parental Controls' with websites that had keywords "****", "murder", "sex", etc. I'm on Comcast, and they require us to use these Netgear routers that are distributed by them that do not currently have WPA2 enabled. Especially things trying to connect to Finder and a lot of connections in mDNSResponder(shows all things connected to wireless network)(usually shows about 6 connections!!!). I noticed a lot of things going on that were still connecting to my computer w/o any apps running at all, just by being connected to the internet. Then sometimes I would see my Mail.app launch on it's own, and decided to use Little Snitch.

I've taken many steps since March of this year to keep my wireless network from being hacked, from upgrading to WPA from WEP, changing the password, MAC Filtering(which I found out is useless), and decreasing the transmit channel. Hello, I'm a new member here and need you guy's help.
