Subject: [gentoo-user] In the fear of getting hacked (WLAN setup)
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2015 05:34:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150718033453.GA4270@solfire> (raw)
Hi,
in order to connect my ASUS Memp Pad 7 ME176CX to the internet I need
a working WLAN (my DSL router/modem is of the copper area - no
Wifi/WLAN). The hardware (an USB dongle) is already there...it needs
"only" be configured and setup.
The problem I (possibly needless) see is: While I am tinkering and
testing the configuration I may setup an open Wifi access point
without noticing it in first glance and
BANG! get hacked ... in the worst case: unrecognized...
What is the "best practice" here?
Is there a certain independant configuration, which I can set,
which prevents this scenario?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
Meino
PS: If one knows the ASUS Memo Pad 7 ME176CX and knows a
way to locally connect this tablet to the internet...this
would be a way to go also. I would appreciate any hint in
this case (Using Lollipop 5.0).
