help to config a secure wep

[ivtec]

Hi guys;i want to make a wireless wap secure,i connected a Toshiba WRC_1000 to ComCast TG862 main router but some linux ops pc wont connect to the secure wi-fi so i connected my own router and i went in the WRC 1000 but need instructions on how to make it secure?
This page has the parameters to configure the Wireless LAN Security interface.
can you in detail tell me what #'s and lettersi should put in the boxes

802.1x
802.1x Not Used Used
WEP
WEP Mode Disable 64 bits 128 bits
Access Control
MAC Address Access Control Disable Enable
Allow ListComma separation ( Ex. 11 : 22 : 33 : 44 : 55 : 66 , aa : bb : cc : dd : ee : ff )

Re: help to config a secure wep

i can break WEP in about 7 seconds, you need WPA
and a big password that is not just a word or string of numbers.

Re: help to config a secure wep

There's no such thing as secure WEP.
You need to use WPA or, if your router is only supports WEP, get a proper router which supports WPA.

Hey mate

I need to open wpa/wpa2 but can't find the proper devices, any suggestion?

Re: help to config a secure wep

if by open you mean break,
the only real weakness on wpa is dictionary attacks or bruteforce using scaled cluster computing using ps3's or gpu's

start here - in the forums.

I got Beini but looks like the dictionary is empty.

Thanks for the info.

Have a look at this http://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/03/...yrit-cowpatty/

Also if WPS is enabled on the AP then that is easier to crack than trying to bruteforce the wpa/wpa2 password.

That depends on the router. Some routers have countermeasures against WPS brute-force attack.

Ahh, it was a while ago i checked. Seems Virgin became aware and pushed out a patch to their SuperHubs in June.

Re: help to config a secure wep

Tkip on wpa has security issues that can let it be cracked, though not nearly as easily wep

use WPA/2 AES

Cracked cracked and cracked. NSA is in your router stealing your packets.

Make a long random passphase and forget to change log in or shut down remote log in.

Re: help to config a secure wep

The easiest way to secure WEP is to not use it! Please use WPA/2 AES at least.

hI mhanddley92: can you teach how to do a secure WEP that can be used on Toshiba WRC1000 wireless router that i have connected to Comcast TG862 Xfinity router to use
with my old wireless Linux and win Xp computers,

I've been using it without secure WEP and i don't want people next to my Apartment to use my wireless,

the Xfiniy TG862 router wireless only works with win7 OPS or very recent new hardware PCs with linux or win xp

This is what i get when i enter the Toshiba WRC1000 WEP secure wireless
menu.Thanks in advance.

suggests you cannot set it up wirelessly you need to set it up using an ethernet cable.

Re: help to config a secure wep

If you insist on using WEP, then at least use MAC address filtering. That would make it somewhat secure.

Re: help to config a secure wep

no it wouldnt.

a wifi scanner will give the mac's of any connecting clients.
a single command will then change the mac of the attackers nic.

Re: help to config a secure wep

Didn't realize it was so easy to break, but it seems you are correct after a quick Google search. Thanks.
