Vendors Don't Take Simple Security Setup
Seriously 05/30/2004 02:41 PM
Almost superb AP story on the lack of simple setup in Wi-Fi home gateways: The reporter neatly details the difficulties in all of the current Wi-Fi gateways in turning security on, especially in gateways and adapters designed by different companies. The only point the writer misses is that WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), which is required in all new Wi-Fi equipment, allows the entry of a simple passphrase instead of a long sequence of hexadecimal numbers. But there's so much pre-WPA equipment out there that hexadecimal WEP keys are still the rule of the day--most adapters (but not all wireless gateways) can be patched to handle WPA, but a user who can't figure out hex keys won't be able to figure out where to find obscure firmware upgrades. Windows XP requires patches and a rollup to support WPA, while Apple users must installed Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) for WPA support. As WPA support permeates the home market through updates and upgrades to hardware, and as new equipment fills homes, you might see security improve through less obscurity....

Broadcom Pushes Wi-Fi Security with a
Single Button

Broadcom Pushes Wi-Fi Security with a
Single Button 01/05/2005 10:18 PM
Broadcom announced a one-button WPA security system for home networks and consumer electronics: The new revision of Broadcom's system to make it easier to secure home networks without entering settings is called SecureEasySetup (formerly SecureEZSetup), and is backed initially by Linksys and HP in a press release; Buffalo Technologies separately confirmed that they will also support the system through firmware upgrades. SecureEasySetup in its simplest form requires manufacturers of Wi-Fi equipment to put an external button on their devices. Pressing such a button on an access point or gateway and then, within a short interval, on a piece of equipment like a Wi-Fi PC Card, a Wi-Fi-equipped DVD/media player, or Voice over IP (VoIP) Wi-Fi phone causes a secure connection to be created between the device and the Wi-Fi router. A WPA Personal key is then provided to the device, enabling it to get on the network with no manual configuration. This one-button approach can be simulated through client software as well for older devices or devices that don't have the form factor for an external button. The initial pass on this system last year was welcome but a bit wonky and didn't catch on due to too many manual parts of the process. Broadcom took a page from Buffalo's AirStation One-touch Secure System (AOSS) and took it down to the fewest necessary steps--and no typing. "All you need to do is press a button on a router, then press a button on the client and then you're done," said Jeff Abramowitz, the senior director of marketing for Broadcom's home and wireless networking business unit. This new system is designed to help people connect all kinds of devices, he said, not just wireless LAN equipment. He noted that while today most home use involves computers and a gateway, manufacturers are rapidly releasing devices that rely on Wi-Fi as a means, such as Wi-Fi in televisions sets, automotive entertainment systems, and VoIP phones. There's no easy way to enable security with many of these categories of devices. Printers, particularly, are a problem to bring onto a secured network as more and more come with Wi-Fi built in or available through a dock or adapter. Web-based configuration tools for printers and even access points are beyond the level at which most consumers want to interact with their equipment. Abramowitz said that although their announcement today at the Consumer Electronics Show was made...

Adventures in wireless security: Why

insecure

Adventures in wireless security: Why
home and corporate wireless LANs are
insecure 06/03/2004 03:44 AM
The meat of the article is: “…Wireless security recommendations: Change your system defaults – everyone knows them. Change the Admin and SNMP passwords. Change the IP network range. Also change the Server Set ID (SSID). The SSID is a unique identifier for your wireless hub/router. The default SSID is set in the factory is definitely not unique. Don’t broadcast the SSID. While you can change the default ID, that does little if your hub or router broadcasts that SSID. Enable Wireless Encryption. WEP or something similar can be compromised, but it makes it significantly more difficult to compromise your information. The larger the key length, the better. Enable Shared Key Authentication. The default Open System setting lets anyone connect to your network with very minimal effort. Change your SNMP Community String. Create a Community String like it is a strong password. Enable MAC Address Codes. Again, this makes it more difficult for a hacker to compromise your home network. Set Wireless LAN cards to Infrastructure Mode. Most cards have the default Ad Hoc mode, which is less secure. Don’t rely only on the broadband firewall. A firewall at your home’s Internet entry point is critical. However, you should still have personal firewalls on all computers on your network, in case something makes it through your home’s firewall or a hacker does make it onto your network.”

Three Clicks Versus One Push for Home
Wi-Fi Security 01/06/2005 11:37 AM
On the heels of Broadcom's SecureEasySetup announcement, Atheros offers JumpStart for Wireless: Atheros trumpets three mouse clicks to set up a secure network, but they may have been trumped by Broadcom's announcement, which incorporates Linksys, HP, and Buffalo, and requires a single button to be pressed on an access point and client device, consumer or otherwise. The Broadcom button can be physical or in software. Atheros describes JumpStart has having a four-layer security process, but it's not quite that fascinating: it requires out-of-band inspection (seeing LEDs flash), a tunnel that uses essentially SSL/TLS, a secure WPA or WPA2 (TKIP or AES) key, and a password for adding new devices. Broadcom's one-button method uses flashing lights, an SSL tunnel, and WPA. Both Atheros and Broadcom's offerings work with Centrino--in fact, it sounds like both security simplifiers work with any client that can run the correct management software. The key part of the process lives in the firmware of an access point. Both offerings also work with Microsoft's new Connect Now profile management system, which is expected to be discussed in depth at CES this week. Atheros also announced immediate availability of a MIMO chipset, adding yet another player to the MIMO market. By my count, there are now four, none of which seem to have any early interest in compatibility for future roadmapping towards 802.11n upgrades, and we're just getting started. I'd like to see a single statement from any of these vendors about whether their devices have any possibility of being firmware upgraded for 802.11n: my money is that none of them will take an upgrade to the final version and the no company will state firmly either way whether they'll be upgradable to final N....

Yesterday I complained about the lack of knowledge of basic security issues in some PHP articles. Well I am getting a wireless card for my notebook, and thought I'd learn more about the security issues of 802.11. It's a pretty sad tale for anal-retentive security-obsessed slobs like me. Encryption keys (SSID's) are sent in clear text, etc.
