I was reading some posts on the Full-disclosure mailing list and came across the some posts relating to WPA hacking (WPA attack improved to 1min). After spending hundreds of hours using the AIR tools to crack WEP encryption and looking into networks as part of my previous job, I was very interested to see how things are progressing.

The thread mentioned the paper “A Practical Message Falsification Attack on WPA” posted on http://bit.ly/8qwQt.

It was a coincidence as I was only taking to one of the executives at work about how easy WEP is to crack and what you can do/discover once you are in.

I hope you enjoy the paper.
