Thank you professor. I promised a job opportunity that I'd have my A+ certification within two weeks. Passed the first exam, working on studying for the second. You are the best resource I have used for sure.

James, you're great, I love your videos. They're right to the point, save time, and gives you what do you really need. I cannot thank you enough.

maybe im missing something, but the WPS hack doesnt sound right. the first half has 10, 000 possibilities, the second half has 1, 000 possibilities. why would you add them together? you normally multiply in this type of scenario... surely you have to get the first right and the second right...?

Interesting about the WPS flaw. If someone cracked the PIN and was able to join your protected network, other than that person using your resources, are they actually able to see anything? To rephrase, if I had the right tools, would I be able to see the contents of the packets of everyone else on my SOHO network? I would assume that you definitely wouldn't be able to see HTTPS traffic because that protocol is encrypted, but what about regular HTTP traffic? I trust there would be something else stopping user 1 from seeing user 2's data, even if they are both authorized users of that Wi-Fi network.
