星巴克的免費WiFi可能會給你帶來風險
Walk by any Starbucks within 100 miles of your house and chances are that you'll see several people sitting at a table, drinking coffee and enjoying the free Wi-Fi.
當你路過在你家周圍一百英里的某家星巴克門店時，你很有可能發現許多人坐在店裏，一邊品嚐着咖啡，一邊享受着免費無線的服務。Starbucks and free Wi-Fi have become synonyMous with one another over the past few years — one unable to exists without the other — but the next time you log on to a public coffee shop hotspot, you might want to consider the risks you're taking.
過去幾年來，星巴克和免費WiFi的關係愈發緊密，已經發展到兩者缺一不可的地步。不過，下次如果你在一家咖啡店登陸公共熱點的時候，你最好考慮一下這樣做可能帶來的風險。
Someone on Quora posed the following question: "How safe is WiFi at Starbucks?" Of course, there's nothing special about the Wi-Fi at Starbucks specifically, but it's a place where nearly everyone has connected at some point.
有人在Quora問答網提出了以下問題："星巴克WiFi的安全係數如何？"當然，這並不是說星巴克的WiFi有何特別之處，從某種程度上來講，星巴克也只是一個許多人會共享網絡的場所。
Here's what network engineer Brent Saner has to say about it:
這是網絡工程師布倫特·薩那針對此問題做出的評論："It doesn't matter if Starbucks is on WPA, WPA2, WEP (give me 1-4 hours or less and close enough distance to a wifi antenna, I'll break your WPA2... but give me 15 minutes and I'll break your WEP. If you have WPS enabled? 5 minutes - no matter if you use WPA/WPA2 or WEP)..."
"事實上，這跟星巴克選用WPA (Wi-Fi網絡安全接入), WPA2 (基於WPA的一種新的加密方式)還是WEP (有線同等保密）沒有太大關係。如果給我1到4個小時的時間，並且離WiFi天線足夠近的話，我可能能夠破解WPA2。給我15分鐘的時間，我就可以破解WEP。如果你還啓用WPS（Wi-Fi Protected Setup：Wi-Fi保護設置），那麼只需5分鐘就可以了。所以，這跟選擇WPA, WPA2還是WEP都沒有直接聯繫。 "He then goes into great detail about exact how he would break into the network and what he might be able to access on your device if he's successful.
隨後，布倫特詳細介紹了他將如何進入網絡，以及如果他成功侵入網絡之後，他能夠如何訪問你的設備。One the other hand, computer security engineer David Seidman explains that the chances of being targeted on a random hotspot is unlikely:
不過另一方面，計算機安全工程師大衛·塞德曼則表示，通過隨機熱點而被當做黑客目標是不太可能的："However, the truth is that most users will never be targeted because such an operation is risky and, more importantly, time consuming for the attacker, because the attacker needs to be physically present. Most attackers prefer to operate remotely so they can hit more victims faster. If you are being individually targeted by an intelligence agency, then you might want to worry – but this is the least of your concerns."
"然而，事實上大多數用戶都不會遭受黑客攻擊。因爲侵入網絡的風險較大，更重要的是，由於所有操作都是襲擊者親自完成，所以整個過程會耗費較長時間。大多數黑客都選擇遠程操作以便可以更快地襲擊更多目標用戶。除非某家情報單位侵入你個人的網絡，你可能會擔心一下，但這種可能性也是比較小的。"So is Starbucks' Wi-Fi safe to use? Not entirely, but you shouldn't let that keep you from logging on and getting some work done.
那麼，這是否意味着星巴克WiFi足夠安全？不盡然。但是你也不必讓其成爲阻止你登陸賬號、在店裏完成工作的藉口。
