Upside-down-ternet

After reading this I was surprised at how awesome it is. I have a wireless network at home and I made the switch from WEP to WPA when I saw how easy it was to break WEP encryption. However, I have not put my tinfoil hat away just yet. If someone manages to break the WPA key I still want to frustrate them. So how do I do this? I posted in the Ubuntu forums and no one replied. I looked for the dhcpd.conf in /etc and it wasn't there.

So can anyone point me in the right direction about implenting this in Ubuntu?

Hi absolutezero1287,

You might be interested in reading the following article from ArsTechnica.com The ABCs of securing your wireless network (3 web pages) as background before you implement your solution in Ubuntu - and, it should give you some terms to search for at Ubuntuforums.org Networking & Wireless or Tutorials & Tips.

Nice, I read it and I actually already have my router set to use WPA with AES encryption. I still wear my tinfoil hat, though.

I just want an extra measure if an attacker manages to break through that. I thought the upside-down-ternet might be a whimsical alternative.
