I suppose you don't need anyone else to reboot your AP just because the internet connection got jammed

I use plain WEP because my laptop doesn't support WPA. I got nothing to conceal. Anyway there are no people to "hack" into my system here. Just 5-6 AP owners, all computer-illiterate, and 2-3 boys with PSPs.

err no. My internet doesn't get jammed? Unless you're talking about frame floods, null probes, broadcast dauths, packet floods etc which my AP detects and defends against.

True but you have to figure out which MAC address to emulate.

That's not so hard, all you need to do is intercept the transmission from a client device. The MAC address is transmitted

AP is a computer with a built-in web server

Anything that has some interactive features may hang, crash or jam.

There's noting that can't be broken, crashed or spoiled. It's the most important thing I have learned after 4 years studying to be a weapon engineer (conventional warheads).

True, I was thinking that the MAC addr was encrypted but of course it can't be on the first network.
