RE: [gentoo-user] physical location monitoring with Gentoo

2005-04-06 Thread W.Kenworthy
Something I am confused about: is wpa/wpa-psk done in the driver or
hardware?  I tried setting up wpa-supplicant but its failing on my old
orinoco card - do I persist or get a new card?

 Trying using WPA/WEP AND MAC address filters... That should last for
 awhile.

Unfortunately, not in portage.  It picked up a new lead developer in the
past 6 months or so (levarson, I think), and is stable with active
development.

You may want to keep this in mind:

wpa_cracker: http://www.tinypeap.com/

Personally, if I'm setting up security infra, I would go wired.  It's a
PIA to set up, but worth it in the long run.

Nice, zoneminder looks really cool.  Have you played with it at all? 
I guess it requires MySQL, PHP, and Apache, but that makes sense.  How
will you decide on a camera that will be compatible?

WPA cracker?  That's news to me.  Is it as vulnerable as WEP now?

They are both WPA crackers, and from the looks of it so far, it is
purely dictionary-attack.  Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to
play with it yet.  I just hold onto these links till I get time... :)

So, no, WPA is not _as_ vulnerable as WEP yet.  But I wouldn't rely on
either of them.  

If your physical environment demands wireless, use one of them 
(WPA|WEP), and tunnel all your data though ssh/vpn/tor.  

just my $0.02
