There are tools becoming available that have GREATLY decreased the effort needed to crack WPA2, here's just one...http://lifehacker.com/5873407/how-to-crack-a-wi+fi-networks-wpa-password-with-reaver
But, yes, aes with 256 bit, SSID hidden, MAC address limiting is also using port limiting. NOt sure if that helps but some really computer savvy network building friends said it would.
The exterior walls of the house are painted with a natural, no VOC organic clay based paint that also just happens to naturally block many radio frequencies, including my cell. I had to get a cell re-transmitter set up to use it indoors the stuff worked so well. Bad thing about that is, I can't wi-fi on my back porch unless I am in front of the patio doors. lol
Not worried about anyone getting any  personal data even if they got in. Documents and stuff are stored on external hard drive which is not even connected when I'm online. Only my programs are on the main drive.
Every little bit helps with all the thieves out there that don't want to do honest work for a living.

Where do I start...

Any home-based wireless network is easy as fuck to crack. Pardon my french here, but it's laughably easy.

For a project at school, I had to break into wireless set up. MAC address filtering, hidden SSID, WPA2 PSK, 256-bit encryption.

Cain and Abel can break the encryption, if you have a password file you can run through it QUICK. Yes, you can be secure with a 30-character random letter/number/character password, but short of that you're not really safe.

I force you to disconnect using a program, you automatically re-connect, I capture your handshake. I then cause a lot of these to happen, which causes me to get a lot more of them. I can then find out what your secrets are.

It's scary how easy it is. Yes, more difficult, but still easy.

Having the paint stopping the signals is awesome! That's precisely how to do it. Otherwise... I can get in.
