PC Security, including wireless, in MP3 and text formats

Steve Gibson, someone whom the older members who have been involved with PCs since the '80s will have heard of, has done a series of podcasts/MP3s and a variety of text formats with Leo Laporte (from Tech TV in the US), called Security Now. There are a number on Wireless / Wi-Fi / WiFi Security, or the lack of it, which I strongly recommend. Either listen to them, or read the corresponding transcript in webpage, text, or PDF form.

There is also a webpage on Steve Gibson's website called Perfect Passwords which generates (pseudo-)random strings of hexadecimal, printable ASCII, and alphanumeric characters for use in the password fields for WEP/WPA. This page is also well worth a read!
