WEP IS NO LONGER SAFE OH NOOOOOO

Since this is our Final blog im going to discuss wireless security. Your current network is probably WEP encryption or not at all. WEP encryption is no longer safe because anyone with a knowledge of computers can download a program that allows them to hack your WEP code and then access the network. Since WEP is so easy to UN-encrypt you should use a higher level encryption.

 WEP IS BAD

My Home network is a TIK encryption and my password is a 32 character case sensitive including letters numbers and symbols. I have a program that test how strong your password and level of encryption is and I ran this program on my home network and in order for this program to hack my password it would have taken over 1000 years. That’s pretty good and I have run this program on WEP networks and I have received passwords to these networks in less than an hour.

 What LAN Security Means

So for a home network that may not be the fastest  it is a must to have a higher level encryption to keep unwanted users off the network. This will in the long run keep your network a little bit faster because there won’t be unwanted users slowing you down. Without other people on the network you will be able to use all of your bandwidth.  You don’t have to use TIK which is one of the highest level of encryption use WPK or any other levels of encryption that are higher than WEP.

WEP Just Dont Work

What Levels of Security are there

Black List

This week I am going to discuss about why certain stuff is blocked at school such as Facebook, twitter, and many other websites. If you ask most people in the school there going to say that the Network Administrator likes to make us mad or that they don’t like us. Well your wrong there doing it for your own safety because when people get on Facebook they like to start problems and then it escalates to a fight or something else.  Another reason for them controlling what you look at on the internet is that there is always one kid that looks at something inappropriate and they can’t have students while under the watch of a teacher look at something inappropriate.

Black List

I would also like to talk about how they block and how they manage what websites that you can get on. Everyone here at the school has had the Blocker pop up and tell that you the website is part of the Black list. The black list is a list of websites and even key words that you aren’t allowed to look up. So you can’t look up pornographic images there trying to shape your internet experience so that you have access and more time on helpful websites. The Networking administrator would like to have Facebook unlocked but people aren’t smart while there on social websites whether there using profanity bullying someone or making fun of a teacher. So they don’t allow you on these websites to make it a non-issue.

Alright so are you still mad at the networking people  or are you mad at the previous students that caused are internet privileges to be shrunk down to the point that social media is stopped completely. So next time you see the networking guy don’t look at him and be like that the asshole that blocked Facebook just think it’s not his fault he’s following orders.
