Steve Gibson had a suggestion on Security Now that if one wants to
run a secure wireless network for personal use at home, and an open
wireless network for visitors or Xbox/Tivo that one do the following:
Modem---->Wired Router------>Wireless Router with WEP
|
V
Open Wireless Router.
This is supposed to protect from ARP poisoning.
Here's my question. If I had a wired LAN coming through a router,
and connected a Wireless router to the wired router so I had only one
Wireless LAN, would people connecting to it be able to hack the wired LAN?
In other words, if it looked like this:
Modem---->Wired Router------>Open Wireless Router
|
V
Wired LAN I want to protect
Wouldn't the wired router protect me from sniffing and ARP poisoning
in the wired LAN?
