Sarah felt like she knew Mr. Australia so well by then--had fallen in love with him so deeply, in fact--that she hardly blinked at inviting him to stay in our apartment for a month. And he didn't think twice about springing for a $2000 plane ticket to fly halfway around the world to see her. Read More

About Computer Networking: Alleged Russian Spies Used Ad Hoc Wi-Fi

If you can't see this email, click here

Computer Networking Computer Networking Fundamentals Get Connected Use and Upgrade From Bradley Mitchell, your Guide to Computer Networking It seems the group of ten alleged Russian spies arrested in the U.S. this week may have utilized ad hoc Wi-Fi networks to transfer data secretly. As if we needed another reason to distrust ad hoc networking, here it is. "Do not try this at home." DISCUSS: Can You Hide a MAC Address? I'm wondering if any of these Russians visited our message board to discuss the topic of hiding MAC addresses. Guessing no. Readers Respond: Stealing or Sharing Wi-Fi With Neighbors "The ISPs are making a ridiculous amount of money from people who are too stupid to realize that they are being *******" says one of our readers. If you piggyback, or open up your Wi-Fi home network for others to use, are you also doing it to get back at your provider? That's probably more common than international espionage, I figure. Do You Use a Router Log Analyzer If you haven't heard of programs like Link Logger, Sawmill, and WallWatcher, odds are that you don't use a log analyzer program on your home network. You might consider looking into it, as these programs can help you find and prevent network attackers no matter where they are in the world. What Is Dual-Band Wireless? Phones, routers and wireless adapters each of a concept of "dual-band" networking. Besides a catchy marketing term, there is some value to having this technology in your gear. (But no, it doesn't really help you hide your MAC address.)
