Gents;

One CRITICAL point in this article just does not make any sense. It suggests to use the

BASIC, EASILY CRACKABLE, POORLY IMPLEMENTED AND INSECURE WEP Encryption Protocol.

Some of you might remember how easy it is to crack with a simple scientific calculator, I mean, at least, suggest REAL security measures, High Encryption for instance,

there are tons of HIGH LEVEL Security

solutions for Wireless, yet, the only

suggestion is a POOR and already known to

be vulnerable to cracking...

I went off my chair, especially when I read who wrote the article, I mean, Come on dude, to me you're like a freakin hero... I remember reading about you when I was 18 years old... that's 10 years ago man.

My point, stop thinking about those who don't understand security, provide them with some smell so that they can lead to the food, not just an empty dish!

Still, you folks rock!
