Is there any tool available to break WAP2 encryption (I searched a lot but was not able to find any). I know using Aircrack (Airodump and Aireplay), WEP and WPA key can be breaked. But if the encyption is WPA2 can we give a reasonable assurance to the client that the Wifi network is secure from outside.
WPA2 with AES-CCMP provides the necessary security assurance, for now at least. Unfortunately some legacy applications do not support it. The older TKIP encryption can be partially broken regardless of whether WPA or WPA2 is used. SANS organized a pretty good webcast of the issue a little while ago, called "Understanding the WPA/WPA2 Break". You should still be able to access the material through https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=92188 BR, Samuel Korpi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Security Trends Report from Cenzic Stay Ahead of the Hacker Curve!
