Gone in sixty seconds.

It irritates me how the nomenclature is often confused when it is so simple.

WPA is often equated with TKIP and WPA2 with CCMP, but this is wrong...
A wireless access point advertising WPA may offer TKIP or CCMP or both at the same time. The same is true with WPA2.

TKIP is RC4 based.

CCMP is AES based.

How is this hard to understand or explain? And more importantly, and worse!, why do manufacturers get it wrong?

So is this about some sort of wireless access?

Lol.

Fuck da Japanese
dey always krackin shit

No matter how secure you think it might be, never trust wireless networks for security. If it's sensitive data, just wait until you can plug into the wall. You never know, so if you're paranoid enough that you truely want all that encryption, just use good ol' ethernet cables.

Sweet I can't wait tell they add this tool onto BackTrack

 

[IzzyCraft]

Depends how much power they are using, people can use a ps3 to brute force wpa in that amount of time etc.

hehe noobs and their out dated WPA, WPA2 FTW!! that will never be broken! ...right?

ROTFLMFAO

Hmmm. Good thing the college here has WPA with TKIP encryption....wait a minute....

 

[Guest]

Nothing is Hacker proof! Thank God!

 

[tipoo]

Meh...Who uses WPA now anyways?

 

[betrayer_]

kewl...so how do i do it?

wow what a name

 

[kikireeki]

The IEEE 802.11 protocol has shown its vulnerability long time ago.

cracking the WPA encryption in 60 seconds seems impressive.

Now... in a home environment - sure, that's fine - just make sure there's hook-ups available. For businesses though... Ethernet, sure, but having NAC with it is the way to go. It's a pain to setup, but very effective means of truly securing what devices connect where, when and how.
