WPA Wi-Fi security gets cracked

—

There are several ways to crack a wireless network's security. The weakest, WEP, can be easily cracked using customized Linux software , but until today, Wi-Fi Protected Access (or WPA) had been considered secure. Not any more. Researchers have announced that they've developed a way to ...

WPA WiFi Security Gets Cracked; Your Network is No Longer Secure [Security]
Gizmodo — ... Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) in under 15 minutes. They haven't, however, figured out how to gain access to the data that travels between the PC and the router, so that's a plus. So what should you do to secure your network? Switch to WPA2, which is still uncracked for the time being. And if you want to be one of those marginally-skilled WiFi hackers? Grab the Aircrack-ng Linux program, which has already had this new code added to it. You dick. [PC World via Tech Digest] ...

WPA WiFi encryption partially compromised
Obsessable News Feed — A new attack is available against the WPA encryption widely used to secure WiFi networks. WPA replaced the earlier WEP encryption, which has been vulnerable to attacks for years. The new attack tricks a router into sending a large amount of data, which can be analyzed and used to retrieve a session key in about 15 minutes. Although the WPA system isn't completely broken open by this, as hacker have yet to decrypt communications going from a PC back to the access point, it's a significant step towards defeating WPA. WPA2, an even more secure wireless encryption standard, is apparently immune to the new attack; if you're ...

Claves WPA hackeadas, el 99,9% de los puntos WiFi desportegidos
Gizmologia — ... el protocolo usado entre la base y el receptor (router a portátil, por ejemplo). Puedes estar seguro, no tienes que volver a las redes Ethernet, no han logrado descifrar las contraseñas WPA que insertas en tu router o punto de acceso. Mi recomendación siempre fue usar cifrados WPA2, supuestamente más seguros y si estás en una red que maneja información privada, encriptar esos archivos, algo que deberíamos hacer todos, pero que al final unos pocos hacen.
