Re: WPA cracking, are you scared yet?

so therefore without forehand knowledge of the ssid,
You mean like not receiving the signal from the AP? If you are able to receive the signal from the AP you are able to see the SSID in cleartext. So how do you have no forehand knowledge of the SSID? Could you explain this, please? I think F430 and other are correct - use a unique SSID and don't bother trying to hide it since you are only fooling yourself.
BTW - brute force attacks are nothing new - they are far older then electronic communication. The weaker your passphrase the more likely the attack will succeed. If you use a good passphrase knowing the SSID is not going to have a measurable effect on the success/failure of the attack. |
