WPA cracking, are you scared yet?

[CraftyPirate]

I made a post on it on dslreports: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22526526-WPA-cracking-are-you-scared-yet

 

A definite worthwhile read for anyone who uses wifi, see how easy it is to extract standard pw's.

To put simply, your *secure* wifi can easily get pwned if you got a lame passphrase (and a default or common name for your wifi network.)

 

Wifi password security shouldn't be trifled with.

So basically people who keep sensitive stuff on their networks and businesses should be worried?

Only if they haven't bothered to change their default router passwords (basic stuff).

I was with you until you wrote this. Obviously you have limited knowledge of how wireless works. Otherwise you would know how pointless it is to reduce the number of times your SSID is transmitted (you cannot "hide" it). This kind of FUD destroys any useful message you may have tried to get across.

 

O no she didn't
