Re: Lock your
Sorry snipper-cr
WPA and WPA2 have been almost as easy to crack as WEP.
All you need is just one handshake packet (person needs to turn PC on, or connect once)
I don't think there is a such thing as a secure wireless connection. |

I'll just sit here and listen to your cricket farm while you rush right out and get that evidence.

| Well as far as WPA goes, its "uncrackable" if you have a strong password. As PV9man99 said, yes, you CAN technically "hack" a WPA network but in reality all it is is just a brute force attack on the 4 way handshake.
And you do not even have to wait for them to turn on/off their computer. Just do a DeAuthenticate attack (assuming your own network) and that will force it to reconnect. Capture the 4 way WPA handshake and then set it to brute force.
If you password is something like "soda" which is commonly found in a dictionary, its probably going to be breakable. But if it is something strong like "pv8man999" then unless you brute force THAT (which would take years with a million computers) you can reasonably assume its safe.
In reality you are not really attacking WPA as you do WEP. You really are getting down to either TKIP or AES and all you can do is brute force it.
