Local wireless networks, which provide information to receive and send to the Internet, have become part of the houses and offices. Where as it is less expensive than wired networks and allows for roaming between the two offices to remain in contact with the electronic devices. But experts warn of the penetration it by the strangers or intruders in order to sabotage it.

According to views of the U.S. experts, unsecured homes networks can also be used by the neighbors in order to spam bots download unauthorized material on the rights of the songs and music, and even pornographic material without knowing the owner, which had led to legal proceedings. In particular, it is difficult to identify the person or organization that used the network. One person was detained when he stopped his car in front of a U.S. charitable organization and used its network to communicate with the Internet.

The offices of small businesses were opened that do not have secured internal networks to penetrate the large companies that make business with them; this also is applied to the home network. To overcome the problems the experts proposed to change the passwords on wireless networks from time to time and installation of cryptographic keys to the codes can be changed according to a regular basis. The radio signals can be adjusted so as not to fall outside the walls of the office.

Finally, the use of advanced software to scan wireless networks secures the development of local home and office computers “in the case of the shadows!”
