Recently, wireless network security is becoming a hot topic. On many BBS there are some tips on how to protect the wireless network security. However many of these suggestions are jumbly, and actually puzzle the uses very much. Here I share with you some basic tips to protect the safe of your wireless network.
1.The adapter of wireless network. If you don't use the internet, I suggest you close the adapter. There are two reasons for doing this. First, it can extend the battery life. Second, it is the best way to keep watch hackers' using the "Microsoft Windows silent ad hoc network advertisement" to attack you network. What Microsoft's own network uses is the zero default setting to access, which gives the attacker an opportunity to exploit.
2.Check out the wireless network SSID. Checking out SSID is helpful to prevent the evil twin even though the attacker creates for you an error wireless network.
3.The operating system needs timely update. Except for the operating system, antivirus, fire wall, internet browsers and Wireless network client program also need update to reduce attacks caused by their own faults.
4.Use the encryption technology to surf the internet. When you have no VPN (Virtual Personal Network) or have the wrong set of VPN, there is lots of SSL technology on the market thus you can transmit the confidential files through a safe access.
5.Use remote access tool to assure safety. Don't transmit the sensitive data through a suspicious network. Some equipment can make sure the people outside door can use SSL access of home network to achieve long-range control. Therefore activities like surfing, E-mail's sending and receiving can be finished on the long-range mainframe. So, don't transmit the date except you are under urgency.
The above mention may more or less help you protect your PC security when you use wireless network.
