| symptom of parallel processors It was academic that stronger encryptions would be broken with parallel processing & alternative methods such as offloading de-encryption to processors such as that of a video card, meanwhile the computer goes along in it's merry way... 12 core processors are just around the corner, albeit quite expensive upon initial production runs.. 4 core processors will be dirt cheap quite soon and these can be put to the use of cracking the first 3 levels of wifi security... wep, wpa1, wpa-tkip.
As more free openwide routers go from that to passworded, there will be a group of people dedicaded to bringing back the free-ride, so routers & wifi devices need to be able to evolve with encryption standards.. I just hope the about to be minted 802.11n standard allows for this to happen. It's only a matter of time before AES & WPA2 are broken (and announced). The main problem with wifi security is that the stronger they make it.. the more complex in setting up security becomes, which leaves non-tech literate people with two choices: don't bother, or learn how to do security properly.. which if not done correctly, leaves the router & it's network nearly as vulnerable as not doing anything at all. |
