[MLB-WIRELESS] What about?? Was.. RE: Free access to Uni networks?

[Shane Chubb]

If your running Cisco gear, why not look at implementing LEAP as well as
WEP?

As I understand it LEAP utilises Radius for authentication, meaning it
is the most security available at present.  no doubt more advances will
come out but if I had invested $100K and wanted assurance of security
before powering it on, I would look at LEAP.  Combine Radius
authentication with MAC specific access rules and you would have a
pretty damn secure wlan.

I have a customer in Melbourne, who has installed $100,000 worth of
Access Points and associated infrastructure and they will NOT turn it
on, UNTIL the company IT wizards can guarantee security, the system has
been
installed for 9 months with Cisco AP's.
I am hooking an Industrial Process Monitoring system to it all.
Yes, these guys have been reading recent media articles on Wireless
Hacking......the article in the Herald Sun was presented at our Project
Engineers meeting......security is the word :-)
