I wish someone would hack my wireless so I could have some fun with them:

someone is stealing my broadband - new router needed

That's a little harsh. Still gotta use a dictionary/GPU bruteforce.

+1 to the deleting anything shared.
WEP keys can be cracked in seconds these days if there's enough traffic over the connection.
use the "WPA2 only" option on your router. if he can break that let me know, i'd like to meet him.
that's even more insecure than WEP, i wouldn't even need to boot into linux to bypass that. "hidden" SSIDs are transmitted to the client in plantext during the SSID query process.
Don't do this please. even though he's illegally broken into your WiFi network, deleting files on his computer would be a breach of the Computer Misuse Act 1990, C. 18 sections 1, 2 and 3, whereas he's only broken section 1 as of yet.

if the person's just using the windows GUI, he wouldn't be able to bypass WEP either though...
bypassing MAC filtering is easy enough as long as your network has been compromised in the past, and as mentioned, hidden SSIDs are just a waste of effort.
WPA2 AES with a key of sufficient complexity is perfectly sufficient at this time.

Indeed. Mac filtering is a waste.
The only time it's worth dealing with mac is for static ips, or ARP binding (not needed on a home lan, but its present in Victeks tomato builds
).

Lots of effort, and no more secure than just using WPA2 with a random passphrase of decent length.
All known attacks on WPA2 rely on the passphrase being either short or in a dictionary. If your neighbour's capable of cracking a WPA2 network with a random 15-character passphrase, I don't think a hidden SSID and a MAC address filter are gonna stop him for very long.

your security needs resolved
for example, unless a critical vulnerability in WPA2 AES is discovered, using a key like this; .30O'Q2*G%q1b\tyzg!DAeGP~>I7^)!:xf[I"Vwrjm)^d{F?k"_o?h!L-O99nW3, i can guarantee that your wireless will take about 6x10^40 years to break into, using all the computing power currently available in the world.

If your clever enough to come to that conclusion what are you doing sitting on these forums.
