Hi there!
Good demonstration, although after some thinking,
At least the Agent should have used a strong PASSPHRASE and demonstrate it. If I were there, I will try to ask if I can also join the fun by being the ONE who will put the PASSPHRASE and see them CRACKING in action. Of course I will use the MAXIMUM allowed PASSPHRASE CHARACTERS to be entered and observe the next few moments while they’re on to CRACKING IT.He encrypted the access point with a 128 bit key—made by just keying in random letters and numbers.
Ehem, since it could be down to 104 (after subtracting the semi-random 24 bit number called an Initialization Vector (IV), as part of the key, they haven’t mentioned CRACKING WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) standard yet.128 bit WEP key
dictionary attack!? OK, what if we really use a stronger PASSPHRASE, any other related tools to do the CRACKING job?3) Use WPA with a strong key WPA is a definite improvement over WEP in providing wireless security. But the version intended for home and SOHO use—WPA-PSK—has a weakness shared by any passphrase security mechanism. The choice of simple, common and short passphrases may allow your WPA-protected WLAN to be quickly compromised via dictionary attack (more info here).
