Sure. But one question remains: is it worth it ? Using a botnet to crack John Doe's PSK where you can just push password stealing malware on his box ? My problem with this kind of announce is that it seems to make people believe that cracking WPA/WPA2 is easy, just like WEP. But it is not, and really far from it. Maybe, or likely, some day, not that far away, someone will come up with a crypto or implementation flaw that will crush them down, but right now, it is not the case. So we stuck to a password guessing game. A game we play for years, with password hashing algorithms that we are *way* more efficient at cracking than a PBKDF2. I don't say we can't break PSK. I say that we suck at it with current implementations, even with a x100 performance increase. -- http://sid.rstack.org/ PGP KeyID: 157E98EE FingerPrint: FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE Hi!

And guess what: the regular process of cracking a WPA PSK implies disassociating a client to sniff the 4-way handshake. Doing this, the attacker will also sniff SSID cleartext in the air. Which means: *do not* rely on SSID cloaking for your security. -- http://sid.rstack.org/ PGP KeyID: 157E98EE FingerPrint: FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE Hi!
