hiiiiii guys


some bad guys use my make Evil Twin of my wireless AP the use the same ssid & MAC (bssid) .as i know wireless zero configuration will prefer the wlan with the strongest signal in this case ...

first of all i need to understand exactly what factors WZC use identify the wlans (i.e ssid,bssid, .....AND what???)

secondly if there is two wlans the first one let's say essid=wlan ,bssid=00:11:22:33:44:55 signal strength=98% channel=9
the second with the fowlloing essid=wlan ,bssid=00:11:22:33:44:55 signal strength=50% channel 1
which WZC will prefer ' imean does the channel has priroty than signal strength or there is other factors


help me please


thanks

Hello Inuxxuni,

Your post is not clear. :confused: You seem to be asking several questions in one. Please take some time and properly explain, what your issues are. To answer one question at least, here is a link; http://paininthetech.com/2005/10/25/disable-wireless-zero-configuration-in-windows-xp/ that explains WZC.

forgive me for my bad english my issue is:
i have a wireless access point through which my clients recive internet .
some guys make a n evil twin using some tools like airsnarf and broadcast using my access point essid & bssid and i think even the channel i use to broadcast

in some way i don't know how my clients associate to this facke access point even if my access point broadcast at the same time .

so when any client open any page they found a facke login screen just like mine .they put the user name & password the bad guys recive all my clients passwords

my question is why my clients pc's connect to the facke AP not to mine ?????

i need to understand how WZC programmed to understand how it's prefere to connect to facke AP not to mine



Thank you for Your time

Lnuxxunl,

If I may, you don’t have a WZC issue. You need to lockdown your AP rather than having others access it from the backdoor and control it for you.

There is a great book that explains clearly some solutions to the issues you are having, and goes further to explain providing Wi-Fi access for free or a fee.

Here is the link. (Click) for access: http://www.amazon.com/Wi-Fi-Hotspots-Wireless-Networking-Technology/dp/1587052660/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1229109672&sr=8-6

This should be required reading for all novices/newbies.

Check it out!

last question how WZC work's i mean how it's choose a specific wireless network depending on what factors & what the priroty it work on to choose between two identical wlan's
