Small changes can thwart WLAN hackers

Small changes can thwart WLAN hackers 07/02/2004 01:05 PM
“With common sense and a basic understanding of how wireless security works, an enterprise can keep its wireless LAN protected from intruders using the security standards and practices available today. During ‘Wireless Hacking Exposed,’ a session hosted by the Rolling Meadows, Ill.-based Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), Steve Rampado, a senior manager of enterprise risk services for Deloitte and Touche LLP, said a wireless network can become far more secure simply by implementing a few minor changes when establishing the network.”

WLAN Switch in an Access Point

WLAN Switch in an Access Point 03/29/2005 11:28 AM
Xirrus launches its wireless LAN array: In a briefing last week, Xirrus executives explained that their product combines the utility of a wireless LAN switch with a single footprint that can coordinate frequency and signal pattern across as many as 16 channels using a combination of 802.11a and 802.11b/g with sectorized antennas. Gigabit Ethernet carries the traffic to and from the array; a redundant failover Gigabit Ethernet port and a 10/100 management port ensures throughput. The WLAN array comes in three configuration: four ports, eight ports, or 16 ports (models XS-3500, XS-3700, XS-3900). All three models can work in 802.11a, b, or g mode for each radio, with up to 12 for 802.11a and up to four for 802.11b/g. Xirrus has baseband-level control of the radios which allows them to adaptively and dynamically change the signal strength and antenna scope. Because they're sectorized, that means each radio can serve a greater distance if needed than the typical indoor omnidirectional antenna--or back off as the RF environment requires. The arrays have what are now required features of any switch: VLANs, multiple SSIDs per switch (up to 16), QoS, and assignment to VLAN based on authentication, SSID, or other factors. One of the radios on any model can be set to work as a monitor for security threats, like rogue access points. The arrays can be managed using Layer 3 tunneling with a centralized platform, the XM-3300, which can handle up to 500 WLAN arrays. Because there's an extra 10/100 interface, the management can be entirely out of band of the actual network traffic. The arrays are powered with 48-volt DC which requires either direct electrical wiring for an AC adapter or the use of DC power over Ethernet--not the standard kind, but their 48-volt variety--that ties into their Remote Power System (XP-3100) at over 300 feet of Cat 5 Ethernet cable. The Xirrus array is the logical extension of the WLAN switch concept. One of the early gating factors for WLAN switching was the necessity for all traffic to be routed from an access point back via Ethernet to a physical switch which had to manage all the data coming and going. While this added the benefit of VLAN-based roaming that was independent of a physical switch location, it also tied bandwidth to the computational and switching capacity of that centralized switch device. (Symbol's first "access port" system had only...

Cross the Columbia and Two Access Points
Cost over $30,000 08/13/2004 03:50 PM
Vancouver, Washington, gets its first free public Wi-Fi for a total of over $30,000 and after a year of planning: Vancouver is a popular town to live in for folks who like to shop just across the Columbia River in sales-tax-free Oregon and live in income-tax-free Washington. It's also a less-bustling town than its neighbor, Portland, edging right into undeveloped countyside, even as it's become a sprawl-y bedroom community. While Personal Telco in Portland has what they report as over 100 active nodes in their free network, including prominent ones in Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown, Vancouver's first free public space Wi-Fi appears to be a 3 Mbps Internet feed over two antennas relayed from a nearby building into Esther Short Park. The project involved $30,000 from HP in goods and services as a grant, which seems improbable just to start with, since the coverage area and relaying involves very little engineering and could use off-the-shelf equipment. It would be hard to spend more than a few thousand dollars at commercial rates and using enterprise hardware to achieve the project's scope. But HP didn't install the equipment: that was done at a reduced rate by Vancouver Power Systems. Bandwidth and authentication services are being donated by local companies. The equipment is 802.11b, not 802.11g, even. The nature of outdoor Wi-Fi seems to be profoundly misunderstood by either the reporter, the officials and others talking about the project, or both: Patrick Gilbride, the city’s information technology manager and main liaison to the project...[said] “If this is successful, I think it will be attractive to look at providing a service that helps local businesses on a wider scale.” To do so would require a much larger investment in equipment – or a much stronger signal than Wi-Fi, whose range is generally limited to a few hundred feet. Gilbride pointed with enthusiasm to the coming next-generation of wireless, known as WiMax, which promises an exponentially larger coverage area than Wi-Fi. “WiMax could be huge, but we’ll have to wait a year or two before it’s really available,” Gilbride said. In outdoor, public spaces, Wi-Fi can easily span several hundred feet unimpeded, and more with a little antenna design or a small cluster of dumb access points (as little as $50 each) with sectorized antennas. WiMax might help on the backhaul, but moving 3 Mbps in any direct line of site can be accomplished...

And Now ... Wireless PC Monitors

And Now ... Wireless PC Monitors 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
They provide freedom from the desktop in the home or business office, but are wireless PC monitors worth their own, albeit lighter, weight? Some industry analysts argue that their higher price and limited functionality, plus the size dilemma -- they seem either too big or too small -- will inhibit the popularity of wireless monitors among consumers.

The Mother of All Monitors

The Mother of All Monitors 05/21/2004 05:21 PM

If a 23 inch diagonal flat panel monitor just isn't big enough for you, how about strapping four of them together for a panoramic, Grand Canyon-like view?

With its ultra-widescreen format, phenomenal image quality, stunning aluminum construction and spectacular high-resolutions, the new Grand Canyon Displays are the ultimate solution for any creative professional, medical, military, engineering, modeling, high-end audio/video editing, TV Broadcast applications, and graphics-intensive computing needs.

You too can have the Cinerama on your desktop for a mere $18,000. Oh, and don't forget the three additional video cards you'll need to drive it, which of course requires that you've got a machine with expansion slots to spare.

This monitor array is only one of the many slightly quirky products that can be found at the Lieberman Go-L website (is that pronounced "go-el", or "gol" as in "golly"?) It's interesting to poke around on the website; many high-end computing devices and peripherals, priced higher than even Apple's wares. All on a website that bears a striking resemblance to Apple's own (I wonder if Apple Legal has seen that site yet.)
