Wireless Security on BeachGuest
The BeachGuest network is NOT an encrypted wireless network. All traffic is sent through the air on radio waves which can be overhead and captured by nearby users. There are no easy ways of detecting other "listeners", so caution and careful use of the Internet is strongly advised. Always use encrypted websites that begin with https:// when providing any login credentials.
Wired Data Outlets with Guest Login
Some data outlets in general-use classrooms and most computer lab laptop stations are configured to use the same login process as BeachGuest. Connect the laptop, then open a web browser to any unencrypted web page off campus. The web browser will then be directed to the login page.
