NoiseBridge Secure Wireless
The network at Noisebridge - like any public network - should be regarded as potentially hostile. This means that you should assume that any unencrypted communications over the network could (and most likely are) be monitored by others. Examples of vulnerable communications include POP3/IMAP email clients, most web browsing, IRC/AIM and similar chat protocols that are often not encrypted. While no issues have come up to date, and our code of conduct opposes malicious monitoring of others, it is wise to be aware of the potential. Stick to using SSL or secure tunnels or VPNs for anything that uses a password or that you otherwise wouldn't want other people to read. If you don't know how to protect your communications with encryption, many people at Noisebridge would be glad to help you out! Noisebridge Class Pwn_Your_Own is a good place to get more information about security concerns. although not as secure as SSL, Secure Tunnels, or VPN's noise bridge also has Secure Wifi available for both testing and more secure browsing, WEP, WPA, and WPA2 networks have been made available. However, it is also recommended that other precautions be taken than simply using the secured network.
Maintenance
hacking is encouraged however any changed settings should be recorded on network change logs. we are currently looking for 48V cisco adapters for higher grade routers and/or wireless network gear to improve our network.
