Then you are secure through obscurity. Almost no one uses these protocols wirelessly.
Sure it is, it's just being enhanced. The WEP keeps the casual snooper away and the SSL keeps the geek away.

fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.
Possible to secure WEP?

Point was that there's no reason why not. Besides, if you happen to have more than one protocol installed, Windows quite nicely sends out session requests on all protocols bound to the windows SMB client. I suspect that many people *are* in fact using these protocols wirelessly to other devices on their LAN without even knowing it. :)

It's actually just a termination point. Nowhere is it written that VPN is always client-server(more accurately gateway) -- it can also be client-client, and gateway-gateway. See "Best Practices For VPN Implementation" :
IPSecurity (IPSec) is a framework of open standards that provides data confidentiality, data integrity and authentication between participating peers (i.e., client to client, client to gateway, gateway to gateway).
Actually much more common than you seem to think.
Only a very casual snooper. Better to say "it will only keep honest people honest."
