Hi,

AFAIK the hashes used during the authentication are salted with the SSID...

It means that building rainbow-like tables would be made SSID-based..It
sounds almost impossible.

Subject: Rainbowtables for WPA PSK?


Without studying the ins and outs, I think it should be possible to
generate
rainbowtables for WPA PSKs. Especially since on-the-fly cracking takes
quite
some time per crypt and most users use a alphanumeric characterset for the
pass. It my assumption right? Anyone already working on this subject?
Please
let me know!

Gz,
Jeroen
