There is of course the scenario where you may live in a house set back far enough from the road that the WiFi won't reach that far.. mine won't. I'm *not* saying we have massive grounds.. more a combination of house set back a bit, plus poor WiFi range :)seems like the list is fixed now .... anyhow ... I'd say nearly 90% of all wi-fi networks are at risk being hacked. WEP is not even a challenge anymore and WPA/WPA2 is also cracked wide open with the help of some good rainbow tables. Of course back in the day when I used to live in the UK I happened to do some wardriving and found at least 20 or so open wi-fi networks by just going down the road a bit (1/4 mile or so). If you need a safe(r) network, then disable any wireless routers and use cable instead. If you do not care, use wi-fi networks. Regards, Jaan
