Several of those clamp-on ferrite noise suppression cores, of a size to fill a partly closed fist, would do some good without requiring wiring alteration. > I can get a reliable connection on the end of about 100ft of house and > extension cable, so I wouldn't be surprised to be able to find a signal > in another house. And ethernet cable is twisted pair, minimising radiation. Power wiring is just parallel conductors, so a sniffer has more signal to pick up. Additionally, transmitted power levels in a Powerline network would likely be higher than on a clean ethernet cable, due to the intermittent electrical noise found on power circuits, due to switching loads, motors, etc. (It's either that or retransmit corrupted packets.) The analog designers in an R&D lab I worked in about 40 years ago spent their lunch hours on a powerline intercom. Pushing a good clean signal through the noise was a challenge. > Presumably, when we speak of security here, we're not talking about > accidental reception, wi-fi WEP would be sufficient to prevent this, > but a deliberate attempt to break in.

The street wiring would act as an extension of the antenna provided by the house wiring, and with much larger loop area between conductors, radiate much better. Acting against that is masking RF noise from everything else in the street, requiring either selectivity or at least a capacitive connection in the street or the comfort of a neighbour's house. But even if you have a wireless keyboard, the your passwords are out there several times per day, I figure. Erik
