Since Windows does not come up with any pre-installed software for folder locking we either make use of scripts or third party software to password protect our files. One such software is Folderlock, a complete vault based password protection. What makes FolderLock a popular choice amongst its competitor are the additional features such as 128 bit AES Encryption, File Monitoring, Stealth mode, Original File shredder.

Features of FolderLock

  1. Support both vault like protection as well as main folder locking. FolderLock by default creates a vault in My Documents. You can simply drag your files to that folder to lock your files or you can select the folder from its browse option and lock it. The files can also be moved into a Removable Disk and protected there.  folder lock options FolderLock Software to password protect your files
  2. Provides encryption for locking files and folders, the 256 Bit AES encryption is strong enough to protect your data from other user access.
  3. FolderLock provides options to delete the original file/folder completely so that the password protected file or folder cannot be recovered using some recovery softwares. erase folder tracks FolderLock Software to password protect your files
  4. Built with smart monitoring features that can monitor the wrong usage attempts into the vault and automatically shutdown the PC after given number of wrong attempts. folder auto lock FolderLock Software to password protect your files
  5. Compatible with hard disk and all other portable mediums. The vault can be built on the USB drive too.
  6. Has a huge collection of pre-defined skins to choose from. folder lock1 FolderLock Software to password protect your files
  7. Complete Privacy and stealth mode available as in case of other security softwares.

Security of WEP was compromised by FMS attack. Three men- Fluhrer, Mantin and Shamir found a weakness in the RC4 encryption and they proved that the encryption key can be recovered by observing few data packets that were transmitted through the wireless network.That vulnerability made it possible to completely break the encryption within few hours. But it never stopped there, every year cryptanalyst find out more and more vulnerability in WEP. The present scenario is even the strongest of the WEP keys could be hacked within 60 seconds. This makes networks implementing WEP more or less equivalent to an unencrypted network.

Due to all its weakness and incompetence to provide complete security , the WEP encryption was deprecated. But still the manufacturers create wireless products that has WEP encryption and in most of the products it is the default encryption used. It is very obvious that a person with not much knowledge about networks prefers to take the default setting and they finally end up implementing the WEP encryption algorithm. And by doing this, they are giving their neighbors, a complete access to their network.

A wireless cracking program called Aircrack-ng enables even a person with no network knowledge to crack a WEP encrypted network.
