How To Secure Wifi Network From Getting Hacked By Hackers





1. Install a Firewall A firewall helps protect your PC by preventing unauthorized users from gaining access to your computer through the Internet or a network. It acts as a barrier that checks any information coming from the Internet or a network, and then either blocks the information or allows it to pass through to your computer.

2. Change the Administrative Password on your Wireless Routers Each manufacturer ships their wireless routers with a default password for easy initial access. These passwords are easy to find on vendor support sites, and should therefore be changed immediately.

3. Change the Default SSID Name and Turn off SSID Broadcasting This will require your wireless client computers to manually enter the name of your SSID (Service Set Identifier) before they can connect to your network, greatly minimizing the damage from the casual user whose laptop is configured to connect to any available SSID broadcast it finds. You should also change the SSID name from the factory default, since these are just as well-known as the default passwords

4. Disable DHCP for a SOHO network with only a few computers consider disabling DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) on your router and assigning IP addresses to your client computers manually. On newer wireless routers, you can even restrict access to the router to specific MAC addresses.

5. Replace WEP with WPA. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol that was designed to provide a wireless computer network with a level of security and privacy comparable to what is usually expected of a wired computer network. WEP is a very weak form of security that uses common 60 or 108 bit key shared among all of the devices on the network to encrypt the wireless data. Hackers can access tools freely available on the Internet that can crack a WEP key in as little as 5 minutes. Once the WEP key is cracked, the network traffic instantly turns into clear text – making it easy for the hacker to treat the network like any open network. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a powerful, standards-based, interoperable security technology for wireless computer networks. It provides strong data protection by using 128-bit encryption keys and dynamic session keys to ensure a wireless computer network's privacy and security. Many cryptographers are confident that WPA addresses all the known attacks on WEP. It also adds strong user authentication,
which was absent in WEP.

6. Hide the Wireless Network:
Do not broadcast the SSID of the Wireless Network. This will help you in protecting your
Wireless being invisible to the people who do not know about Passive War Driving

7. Use a Secured Key :
You can use the WEP Key protection on your Wireless Network to protect your Wireless
Network Connection. Although this is not the ultimate security measure but will help you a lot against the Script Kiddies who do not know how to break into the WEP Protection.

8. Choosing the Best Key:

          As Wpa Wifi Networks cannot be hacked directly, unless that network is with WPS(Wi-Fi Protected System) , Hackers Try To Hack Wifi Using Wordlist So You Should Select Any Password That Can Not Be In The Wordlist.

          Just Like This – 785##@!1234$$*abcd 

This Type of Passwords Can Not Be in Wordlist, So Better Use This kind Of Passwords.


9. If you are not interested on all this, use password generators that’s all, it’s very simple.
