Is that such application is suffering from an ailment for which it is possible The firewall that implement versions m Our co- Get the key that is protected wifi network with WEP security is not too complicated for someone with a little knowledge about computers, knows how to read and not afraid of the terminal. Yet we must bear in mind that access a WiFi network that does not know and we do not know who is not recommended because it can be victims of accessing the data we transmit. If you want to access even knowing this one, to get the key of WIFI networks with WEP security we need a series of programs in most Linux distributions are easy to install through their gestoresde packages need aircrack-ng macchanger . At the time I tried to do with Arch Linux, it seems that aircrack-ng had a problem with the WIFI channels so I had to choose to use BackTrack. BackTrack Linux distribution and is preloaded so that only one would have to desgargar vesion of this, burn a CD and start the computer with it. So you do not have a false sense of security by having a protected WiFi network with WEP security, even in WiFi networks with WPA / PSK that are a little safer to get the key to these is also possible. Because having a WIFI network WEP or WPA / PSK prevents us not be safe from intruders can take some actions that are not using WEP or at least use WPA / PSK (which is not secure but better than WEP), change the key every few weeks (not prevent us to be safe but will be a nuisance to anyone attempting to access our WIFI), turn off the WIFI network if we use it and not let it always on (this will make someone who is looking for a WiFi network choose which connect other than ours for not having WiFi whenever you want) enable WIFI router MAC filtering (and only our computers can connect to it) and hide the network is not broadcasting the name, SSDI, our network (for someone with little knowledge will opt first for the network to see instead of hidden WiFi networks). Some reasons to avoid intrusion on our network are to have all the bandwidth we pay for, prevent anyone from using our network for illegal or criminal activities through it, to prevent access to our equipment and our documents, key or the services we use data from our bank cards or accounts: The main thing will be to prevent these rare but possible problems. When you need to connect to a WIFI network, you may happen to look different open networks to which to connect. WiFi Manager application, it shows Google Street View is a great service that helps us orient ourselves in many cases with actual images of cities mapped. But it has not been without controversy in the past by collecting more data reported for its intended purpose, photographs of city streets. Now they are making new images shot in different provinces of Spain and Google will not collect data on their WiFi networks update StreetView has been informed by the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD). At first, Google picked up the WiFi data networks to help the geolocation, placing the SSIDs of wireless access points, which allowed a much higher degree of accuracy in what relates to geolocation. However, in open WiFi networks, were also collected other data, like Google was forced to finally acknowledge. These data included emails, passwords or URLs to which the user could be accessing. Beyond the legal incidence of the collection of such dates is nothing, at the request of information about the new campaign AEPD Google has stated that:. Also continue to apply before posting images blur identifiable faces and license plates. Furthermore meet ARCO rights (access, rectification, cancellation and opposition) to personal data contained in the images of users who wish not to appear, or modify any issue, through a link at the bottom left of the image Street View. The truth is that if Google Street View has not been without controversy since its launch for not respecting the privacy of users adequately. Hopefully in this new data collection have learned the lesson, because beyond the legal implications have had, the one that lost out was Google's corporate image copy. The truth is that this is not the only dispute with privacy Google, whose new privacy policy does not convince the European Union. It is not the only company that has received attention touches on this. The same has happened with Facebook. It seems that companies find it difficult to put them to limit their business to respect the privacy rights of users. Google has informed the Spanish Agency for Data Protection that will not collect WiFi data networks to update their images for Street View. Please enter the code shown in the picture. If next time you want to avoid this control, login above or, if you have not registered, register. Or for those with an iPad Wifi for example, that does not have GPS. Although the Note for example the location pillar gets along very well without gsm network or wifi, GPS costs more to use the battery. Well, use the information of telecommunication antennas, why the hell does use IM network as a locator? I have my SSID is visible to easily connect my device, not a company is profiting from it. But sure you change the view of the world the number of your site or your name in the mailbox. You do not win or lose having your SSID in view of everyone, and people that pass through your street may serve for guidance if you are properly registered in a database. So go, so it comes to locate users in a couple of seconds with the phone thanks to WiFi .. but perhaps Google with the database that already have not seen necessary to collect data, or simply because that data collected differently. In case you do not know, every user of Google Maps geolocalizamos wifis when we open Google Maps on your mobile phone, which I find very useful for indoor geolocation. Ah, yes, other countries do not exist CISPA .. but certainly in Spain passes a law to count as CISPA or something. "However, in open WiFi networks, were also collected other data, like Google was forced to finally acknowledge. These data included emails, passwords or URLs to which the user could be accessing.". As noted that Google are the pretty girl, they apologize to the last shit. If this is done by another, as the terrible evil of Microsoft, we would sing a different story. The same data can pick them up any person who is connected to a WiFi network open and unprotected to any use those passwords, e and co. Google and looked at the data and then erased, just wanted to know the network name, signal strength and location to improve geolocation devices using WiFi networks. Yet with such a laudable purpose not declared to the European agencies for data protection, as was his obligation. Another oversight, we might say. I invite you to do an experiment. The next time you see a car with the door open and the keys, take it, you can, after all if its owner has left unprotected is implicitly saying that it wants to share and risks that you do .. We'll see how you explain to the Judge. If I do use my credit card in the face of the people, of course, I risk to any individual finds out my password, but that does not justify a company (let alone private) to keep my password and do you leave the eggs with her Do you know why?. For a little thing called ethics. And institutions should and are obliged to have professional ethics, and ethics to regulate the individual level in people is impossible. Polaroid 32 is absolutely right, it seems to be google, nothing happens because the fault of our system or they can collect this data, go and not me …. is corporate responsibility to respect our privacy. for things how are you is that I stopped using Google products, I do not want you to know all of my "to improve their services." Much is said about Google, well I'm not going to play devil's advocate, but what other companies like Naviteq leaving less in the news but contains the same data as Google?. Not to mention individuals with a simple Android application terminal (without naming names) can monitorar Internet traffic on a network unprotected. No, the fault of an unprotected network is not Google. The take advantage of it to get some more information that your simple geographic location, yes. And Google for not defending what he did, but just talking about Google, that if this or that .. They say the danger is to have an open wifi network or other companies use the same type of system for localization and that surely could be storing data (either by mistake or not). Besides, are not as Spanish law, but the law of the country where I live (Netherlands) said that is 100% legal "analyze" the open network trafego since I do not change anything, so I can see everything a person is viewed on your computer. Well, if other companies do, which is established and terminated the situation. So far what has been done with Google. A bad practice (perhaps) many, does not justify another. But once I compreendes wrong, does not seem right what google has done, I mean that just focuses on Google, and not in other companies and most importantly, to improve the security of our network because we care so much. Your example of the car for example, in a perfect world because no one would take the car, but not if you leave the car unlocked with the keys in seconds and not. And you do not understand the example of the car. One thing is for one person to another company. There are things people do in their privacy or personal choice that companies can not afford to do. Have you ever wondered how Google can pinpoint your exact location the house when you click on the little "my location" button on Google Maps? Wifi is a great way to spread your location. I realized that after the release of Google Street View in Canada, the accuracy of the location of my home was necessary. Actually cooling type. To me this is bad news. I am very interested to know my approximate location without using GPS, which I can not do if Google follows this policy.
