Yes, I may be lucky in that my software can use another identifier to
connect to the same access point as last time. But that's just luck.
My software may not manage it, simply because of the way it was
programmed. Or the same access point mightn't be around, or active at
the moment my computer is trying to connect.
which OTHER identifier?
you ENTER the SSID to connect
and that is exactly what anaconda is missing
SSID is mean as an identifier, a name, for the access point(s), and
that's all it's for. It's not a secret. It's not part of security.
Telling people which network is which (via SSID, or other methods) is
not part of security. This is a cold hard fact, and no false beliefs to
the contrary can change that.
blablablabla
Since we're already "off topic" so much so that we're discussing other
things entirely....can I ask a question, and bear in mind I'm asking
only for edification and NO other reason!:
I am currently running Fedora 17 on my laptop. I'm the only one who uses
it, and can access it, but I worry sometimes about someone trying to
hack into it when I access the internet...is there some security
measures I can take that might prevent this? I don't have a clue as to
how to configure iptables...or how to even configure the firewall....I
HAVE a firewall on here...(it shows up in my Applications list!) but
what do I do to ensure my PC's safety?....I've gone ahead and installed
ClamAV...and that works fine...I run it every Friday...and to
date...it's NEVER found "threats"...but I'm just wondering what I could
do to "harden" my security...(not to mention it will come in handy as
hands-on experience when I get my RHCSA cert....which I'm attempting to
get!) any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated!
