7) WPA
If our network turned out to use WPA, we’re in luck - our network is already relatively secure provided we have used a good password to generate the WPA PSK (pairwise master key). How difficult is it to get the password if we used a poor password though?
Our network is still subject to dictionary attacks (a brute force method) so if we have not chosen an appropriate password, our security can still be breached.
- No trackbacks yet.

There are reports emerging that WPA with TKIP (not AES) has been partially cracked - the crack is not yet public however
