They catalog numbers so that hackers can call back and try to break in.

A term that describes pirated software on the Internet.

A Distribution System (DS) is a wired connection between two or more APs, while a WDS

is a wireless connection. An AP using WDS can function as a wireless network bridge allowing you

to wirelessly connect two wired network segments.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data transmitted between wired and wireless networks

to keep the transmission private.

Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) services queues based on their priority and queue weight.

Queues with larger weights get more service than queues with smaller weights. This queuing mechanism

is highly efficient in that it divides any available bandwidth across the different traffic queues.

See also Queuing Algorithms.

Connecting to a network and monitoring all traffic. Most wire tapping features can only monitor the

traffic on their subnet.

A wireless client supplicant is the software that runs on an operating system instructing the wireless

client how to use WPA.

A program that seeks access into other computers. Once a worm penetrates another computer it

continues seeking access to other areas. Worms are often equipped with dictionary-based password

crackers and other cracker tools that enable them to penetrate more systems. Worms often steal

or vandalize computer data.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security specification draft.

WPA applies IEEE 802.1x and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless

clients using an external RADIUS database. WPA encrypts data by using Temporal Key Integrity

Protocol (TKIP), Message Integrity Check (MIC) and IEEE 802.1x. See also WPA-PSK

(WPA -Pre-Shared Key).

WPA-PSK (WPA -Pre-Shared Key) requires a single (identical) password entered into each

access point, wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a client will be

granted access to a WLAN. See also WPA.

The Internet in general.
