| Not so long ago affair between the two researchers managed to crack the part of the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) - for those who do not know - is a protocol data encryption for wireless networks. For about 15 minutes Tyuz Eric and Martin Beck opened the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol and demonstrated clearly the interception of information transmitted in both directions, and open reading. Plus it is also possible to modify the headers and fake packets received by the user. In essence, technology is an overload of the channel large amounts of information that allows us to apply a formula developed by a pair of programmers to crack the security key. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) - part of the WPA, an algorithm to ensure security in networks, IEEE 802.11, has long been considered obsolete because it was developed in the mid-90's. In fact, by using special software, which is elementary to find on the Internet in the public domain, this algorithm breaks down at times. In turn, WPA2, an improved version of the protocol is still considered to be resistant to all known methods of attack, but its support is, in fact, appeared only in March this year, so most of the currently used router does not support it . Hacking WPA and the transition to newer technologies most actively discussed at the recent Tokyo PacSec Applied Security Conference. Published at the request of Enchantner | |
