I have a great idea! Let's dumb down security for Ludites! ... Not. It just goes to show you, all of these "easy" security setups have vulnerabilities. Who would've guessed?!?! If you have this WPS thing,... Disable it. |

> Blessing in disguise?!?! Probably. Even the auto-configure programs included with most routers don't work for me. I always have to go in and configure things through the web based interface. |

If your brain was worth the tin-foil hat shielding it, you would be using a VPN over WiFi. |

If my brain was full of tin foil hat shielding, I'd just turn off the wireless completely,... or wrap the entire place in a Faraday cage. |

I followed the link in the article to the supporting paper. Do I read this right? The security protocol includes an answer meaning "partly correct?" It should be accepted or declined. Period. What are they teaching in "Computer Science" classes these days? |
