It's really a matter of timeshifting. Note that only advantage between the first test (straight dictionary attack) and the second (precomputed dictionary attack) is that the data set can be recycled for a given SSID. If you change your SSID to not be stock, then the dictionary will need to be recomputed. If you change your passphrase to not be one of the ones in the dictionary, it will still not succeed. Which brings it back down to "don't choose lame-ass passwords", which is already known. This attack only makes using lame-ass passwords with stock SSID's weaker. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32888 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
