If network security on the average Internet-connected desktop is a serious concern, how much more so should it be in situations where a Wireless LAN (WLAN) is involved. Wireless Routers and Access Points are shipped with the most lax security options possible in order to facilitate easy installations (with the exception of Microsoft, who does require WEP). The problem is that users have to take the next step and start locking their WLAN down after it's setup, but many don't for a variety of reasons. Hence today's Wireless Security Practicum.
