Knowing how WiFi networks can be attacked is a big part of properly securing them, and the best way to learn about it is to (legally) run some attacks. [Matt Agius] has been going down the WiFi-cra… ...

Legacy WiFi just became a little less safe, according to Jens Steube, the developer of the password-cracking tool known as Hashcat. He has found a faster, easier way to crack some WPA/WPA2 ...

Using the Silica wireless hacking tool sold by penetration-testing software provider Immunity for $2,500 a year, I had no trouble capturing a handshake established between a Netgear WGR617 ...

It then accelerated as it had time to optimise the running parameters to the Wi-Fi networks. After a few on and off cycles, totalling around 2 hours for testing, it had captured 24 usable data points.

EAP-pwd (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication system supported in the previous WPA and WPA2 WiFi authentication standards, that is also supported for legacy purposes in WPA3.

When the Wi-Fi Alliance released its next-generation WPA3 wifi security ... the main thing that was supposed to make WPA3 so secure was an encryption process called the ‘Dragonfly’ handshake.

The next-generation Wi-Fi Protected Access protocol released 15 months ago was once hailed by key architects as resistant to most types of password-theft attacks that threatened its predecessors ...

A recently discovered a flaw within the WPA2 Wi-Fi protocol known as KRACK makes it possible for an attacker to intercept Web traffic. ... a process known as a four-way handshake takes place.
