cracking WPA

[ranal]

hi all,


this shows brute-forcing of WPA (which salts pwds with the SSID) i
think if you have a pwd which is more than 8 characters you should be
fine.

So for each WPA site (unique SSID) it needs the compute power of CPU, GPU and all that. This falls in the "not worth it" category which is exactly what salt is designed to do.

Here's a dictionary attack on WPA.

I'm not sure if the dictionary was created specific for the SSID.
