Subject: WiFi broadband access security?
I have just ordered Kogan's Agora 12" laptop preloaded as it will be
with
11.04. It will be going on holiday with me to USA in August.
Considering the extensive WiFi access over there I am seeking some advice
on what protection I will need?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I've just been playing with Firestarter for it's DHCP server capability, but it
also seems to be a very good firewall. I think I'd also disable SSH while on
insecure networks, and make sure that there's no other ports open. Apart from
SSH this is the default for Ubuntu/Linux.
Oh, and pick a really good password. I revised my own security arrangements
when I discovered from auth.log that "people" had been trying to log in via ssh
as root.
