Why bother with such an absurdly complex passphrase in the first place? Based on my quick wikipedia research (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WPA2) You don't get any benifit from > 39 ASCII chars due to the reduction of the keyspace from 504 bits to 256 bits by the hash function. Really, a 10 character passphrase of [a-zA-Z0-9] (62^10 combinations) would take 2661.4 years to walk if you could process a million crypt per second. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35174 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
