Secure WiFi by Sergio Castellote https://padlet.com/sergiocaste/nz7g3sagy6g2 Hecho con una chispa de genialidad en-us 2017-09-21 12:08:55 UTC 2017-10-31 11:45:28 UTC hello@padlet.com Víctor https://padlet.com/sergiocaste/nz7g3sagy6g2/wish/189700277 Introduction
Are you jaded of being stolen conection WIFI?
There is a way to solve this problem without needing to manage  a network computer. And the solution is to use a MAC adress filter.

Give reasons why not or why yes

The simplest way is to use a white list in the MAC address filter, this is introduce a list of devices that we want to connect, exluding the rest. Provide security and simplicity.
The disadvantage is having to authorize your friends or family whenever they want to connect.

Conclusion 

If your are a person with 
lack of social life, use this filter.

On one hand you can make a list of trusted computers and give them permission to use your internet connection,
so nobody out of the list can attack your network. Te best option is to combine MAC filtering with a WPA protocol to ensure that the user who is using the computer is not an intruder.

On the other hand, this procedure is very bothersome. The administrator needs to know every MAC address and 
keep the list updated, so is not a good idea if you are managing a big network.

To conclude, if you are trying to improve your own network security by combining WPA and MAC filtering you have made the right choice. But if you are administrating a company network you should use more sophisticated protocols like RADIUS.

I mean I can imagine my mother struggling with the computer trying to config this...
It's should be an easier and  more intuitive way to enable the Mac Address filtering. A method
which allows people with barely zero experience on computers, to configure easely and without the necessity of constantly asking...

Your teacher has asked you to write a short essay on the following topic: 

"Is MAC address filtering a viable wireless security option?" 

Write the essay using your own words as far as possible. State your opinion and give at least one example and argument that support your opinión.

It consists in the fact that the user is who chooses the MAC adresses that can acces the net.

In my opinion this way of securing the Wi-Fi is a really good choice, allowing the user to customize the list so only known addresses can access.

On the other hand, despite the fact that it is a good choice, it also has cons, for example, how tedious can be to make the access list if you want to let in a huge number of MAC addresses.]]> 2017-10-24 10:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sergiocaste/nz7g3sagy6g2/wish/199916347 Guillermo Lozano https://padlet.com/sergiocaste/nz7g3sagy6g2/wish/199917552 The most common method of securing a WIFI network is done by the use of a password.

However,  very determined hackers can bypass this type of security which is where MAC address filtering comes in.

MAC address filtering allows only trusted computers to connect to your network by using the unique serial number embedded in your computer.

I believe this method is a great way to improve the security of your network, however, using this in networks with a lot of computers can be a hassle which is why I think it's only viable in networks with few computers, like the one you have at your home.]]> 2017-10-24 11:04:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sergiocaste/nz7g3sagy6g2/wish/199917552 Diego Peña https://padlet.com/sergiocaste/nz7g3sagy6g2/wish/199918372 As we have read in the article, most of the people have their WIFI network secured by a password, this allows determined hackers to burst into your network.

So, MAC address 
(a unique serial number embedded in your computer) 
 filtering is a really good method to secure your network by adding the allowed PCs  MAC.

On the other hand, every time you want to connect a phone to the net, you'll have to add the MAC address to the list, wich can be very tedious
