Hey folks, sorry if this is the wrong section of the forums for this post but i was unsure where to ask this.
Here is the situation, im no good with networks or security but i am being asked a dozen questions about securing a public/guest network. Also im a little out of touch with some terms you may use these days and yes im not the brightest crayon in the box at times haha.
Right here is what i know, the network is using an AP made by Unifi, basically anyone can walk into the business and log onto "businessname wifi" so im guessing this means that it is unencrypted?
What im wondering is if a login page or password was required then would this stop/make it harder for someone to use hacking apps on the network and spy on customers? I would name the app i believe they are using on their mobile but im unsure if that would be against the rules etc but it seems to be able to wardive, MITM attacks and a few other things. Also would this help with apps such as wireshark? (they sometimes have their laptop)
Any help, guidence or links to posts about how to prevent this would be appreciated. I do not mind doing homework in my spare time.
