On your network, an unauthorized user could get you into a lot of trouble depending on their activities, or they could decide to monitor your Internet traffic.

Of course, brute force attacks are also theoretically possible. A wireless key can also be easily retrieved using a variety of tools from your PC. However, that does not make it impossible for an intruder to get onto your wireless network.įor starters, your default wireless key (if you got the router from an ISP) is probably printed on the router somewhere, which is easily read by anyone close enough. Thankfully, these days most wireless networks are pretty secure, with very few still using the vulnerable WEP. SoftPerfect WiFi Guard (portable) is a tool you can use to monitor for unauthorized users on your wireless network.
