Test whether wi-fi is secured

How do i check/test whether my wi-fi at home is secured?

Bring an external notebook from someone and try to view adult website from the corridor of your home using your wi-fi.

need pw den is secure lo

[ab_cat]

maybe u can tell us wats ur current security settings?
Perhaps @ least a WPA-AES/TKIP passphrase and some additional protection like SSID hiding, mac address filtering etc...

[liangtam]

if u opt for WPA with a strong, non-sensical, non-dictionary based key, can liao, no need test even.
anything else can ignore

[leogeo]

all these technical terms, i very noob leh...

but i know if i want to connect manually, need password. like that safe already?

For security testing, you need formal mathematical proofs.

But if you secure your WIFI using WPA(AES) with a long random key, it is sufficient for wifi security (ie, not computational feasible to brute force your key)

Trying using the random characters generated here (https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm) as your key.

Like I said earlier, if too chim to understand, that means you're not capable of testing anything complicated. Just ask a friend or neighbour sit outside your house, try to use your wireless to surf adult site. If cannot, that means secure enough bah.
