SUMMARY

This chapter covered the finer points of securing your network. The most important point covered is that any form of WPA is vastly superior to the best of WEP. Also when using a VPN to secure your traffic across a wireless network, it's very important to have some form of strong mutual authentication to protect against rogue APs. Finally, you learned how to set up a PEAP-protected network using FreeRADIUS. PEAP is an attractive authentication type because it can use usernames and passwords inside an encrypted tunnel.
