How to Learn Computer Networking

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Use WEP.

   WEP stands for Wireless encryption protocol.
   
   It's a customary technique for encrypting traffic on a wireless network.
   
   You should never skip it as that will allow hackers to get instant access to the traffic over a wireless network.
2. 2

   Step 2: Change and disable the broadcast of SSID.

   SSID stands for service set identifier.
   
   It is the recognition thread utilized by the wireless access point due to which the customers are capable of starting connections.
   
   For every wireless access point arranged, select an exclusive as well as unique SSID.
   
   Also, if it's attainable, hold back the broadcast of the SSID out over the antenna.
   
   It won\t appear in the listing of offered networks, while being able to provide services as usual. ,, Change the private as well as public community settings of SNMP.
   
   You can also just disable it.
   
   Otherwise the hackers will be able to utilize SNMP to get significant info regarding your wireless network. , For additional security of your wireless network, and if your access point support this feature, employ an access list.
   
   An access list lets us determine precisely which machinery is permitted to attach to an access point.
   
   The access points which include the access list can employ trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP) now and then in order to download modernized lists to steer clear of hackers.
